We are an open and inclusive primary school, educating children between the ages of 5 and 11 years. Located in the garrison town of Larkhill, Wiltshire, our school aims to spark interest, ignite a passion for learning and fire up ambition to inspire every child to recognise and exceed expectations. Our staff provide a challenging, yet nurturing, environment based on our Christian values and we are committed to learning outside the classroom, as much as inside; with regular trips planned and visitors invited in to help make the learning relevant and linked to both our local community and the wider world.

• Has good knowledge and awareness of current initiatives in the Primary / KS2 Curriculum;
• Is able to raise attainment and challenge students to achieve their best;
• Is an effective team member who can contribute positively to the work in the KS2 team and across the wider school community;
• Has a positive, cheerful outlook with a good sense of humour;
• Is able to forge good relationships with students and staff;
• Is able to work hard and remain calm under pressure;
• Has a desire to work within the Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) structure.

We can offer the successful candidate:

• An ambitious and vibrant place to work, with enthusiastic children and staff who are passionate about learning;
• A workplace where everyone feels valued and supported;
• Opportunities for training and progression;
• The support of Acorn Education Trust, with excellent opportunities to work with experienced colleagues;
• A supportive and clearly defined induction procedure.
