"Aim High and Reach for the Stars" – A Culture of Ambition and Care 

At Robin Hood Academy, we believe that postcode should never define potential. We are a vibrant, two-form entry school in Hall Green, where our mission is simple: to ensure every child leaves us with the knowledge, skills, and strength of character to lead a life of opportunity and choice.

Joining us for this one year long maternity cover means becoming part of a team that is passionate, dedicated, and truly collaborative. 

We don’t just teach the curriculum; we bring it to life through our bespoke EPIC pillars - Environment, Power, Innovation, and Community - which form the bedrock of our knowledge-rich approach.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Is passionate about working with pupils in the Early Years and wants to take our Nursery and/or Reception to the next level!

• Is committed to using evidence-informed teaching practices.

• Can balance demanding high academic standards alongside utilising the nurturing approach that our diverse community needs.

• Wants to be part of a Multi-Academy Trust that champions professional development and "aims high" for every child.

Why you’ll love working here:

• Values-Driven Leadership: Our four core values—Courage, Curiosity, Compassion, and Courtesy—are lived and breathed by staff and pupils alike. We foster a culture where individual flair is celebrated, but collective effort is valued above all.

• A "Family" Atmosphere: We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school where every staff member feels valued and supported. You will be joining a "Robin Hood family" that looks out for one another.

• Innovation & Enrichment: We are not afraid to do things differently to give our children the best. From Mandarin lessons for all pupils to specialist drama partnerships with the Birmingham Rep and ballet workshops, you will work in an environment that buzzes with creativity and ambition.

• Focus on Welfare: We know that high academic outcomes rely on strong pastoral care. Our staff care deeply about pupil welfare and ensure a safe and stimulating environment for everyone.
