Main Teachers’ Pay Scale Required for January Start The Learning Academy Partnership has an exciting opportunity for a Class Teacher to join our School Trust, based in Thurlestone C of E Academy.
Lying at the heart of our community, Thurlestone is set in extensive grounds, framed by the stunning backdrop of the coastline and surrounding villages. There is a real sense of community where we aim to ensure that all our children can flourish in all they do. At All Saints’ Thurlestone we pride ourselves on providing every child with a rich and engaging curriculum grounded in our Christian values.
Our vision is: ‘Together we shine like stars reflected in the sea’
At Thurlestone, we believe that education is about more lessons in a classroom - it’s about sparking curiosity, building confidence, and giving every child the best possible start in life. We want to ensure that every child will achieve the very best they can, fulfil their dreams and ambitions and shine in all they do! The outdoor environment is very much part of the daily curriculum where a wealth of natural resources makes learning exciting and awe-inspiring for all children.
We are looking for a Class Teacher to join our incredible team who can nurture and inspire our children, foster a love of learning, and make a profound difference to their lives. We are immensely proud of our School Trust – we live our vision by working collectively as a family of schools with a shared responsibility for all children. By working as a Hub (alongside Charleton, West Alvington and Dartington C of E Academies) and as part of the wider School Trust, we empower each other to deliver an exceptional curriculum offer that is fully rooted in our Christian values.
This is a great opportunity to be part of a wider team of teachers not just in the South Hams Hub, but across the wider Trust who develop practice and share expertise for the benefit of all children. Whether you’re just starting out as an Early Career Teacher or bring years of classroom experience, we would love to hear from you!
We value the diversity of skills and perspectives that every teacher brings and are committed to supporting a healthy life balance for all our colleagues. We’re happy to explore flexible working arrangements and discuss what that might look like for you.
Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs; we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish. Our ethos is one of working together to Empower, Excel, Together.
What we can offer you:
- Make a real difference – every day you’ll have the chance to make a profound difference to children’s lives.
- Be part of something bigger – you will be part of a values-led School Trust where we collaborate, innovate, and succeed together.
