This is not just a teaching role. It is a place to put down roots.

Great Wilbraham CE Primary Academy is the kind of school many teachers spend years hoping to find.

Tucked within a close‑knit rural village community, Great Wilbraham is a small Church of England school where children are deeply known, relationships are strong, and teaching is treated with respect and seriousness. It is a place where staff greet families by name, where children feel safe to be themselves, and where learning is shaped by ambition, clarity and care.

We are part of ACT Multi Academy Trust, but Great Wilbraham has a very clear identity of its own: warm, relational, thoughtful and quietly ambitious.

We are now looking for a part‑time Upper Key Stage 2 teacher who wants more than a timetable — someone who wants to be part of a school community that values them as a person and a professional.

Why Great Wilbraham really is different

Great Wilbraham is a school where:

• Relationships truly matter.
  Children are known well. Staff know one another. Parents feel welcome and listened to. Teaching is built on trust, not systems alone.

• Children want to learn.
  Our pupils are curious, reflective and eager to be challenged. They enjoy being stretched and take pride in their learning because expectations are high and humane.

• Small means meaningful.
  In a small school, your teaching does not disappear into the background. Your impact is visible every day — in children’s confidence, progress and sense of belonging.

• Leadership is close, human and principled.
  Leaders at Great Wilbraham know their staff well. They lead with clarity, kindness and moral purpose, not distance or hierarchy. Support is real, timely and personal.

• Teaching is respected as complex, demanding work.
  There is no culture of performativity here. Teachers are trusted to teach well, reflect deeply, and grow professionally without constant pressure.

This is a school where it is genuinely possible to teach with depth, not just survive the week.

Upper Key Stage 2: teaching that truly matters

Upper Key Stage 2 is one of the most formative phases in a child’s life.

At Great Wilbraham, this role exists to ensure that children:

• leave primary school academically secure and confident;
• believe in their own ability to think, reason and succeed;
• feel known, valued and capable as learners;
• and are truly ready — academically, socially and emotionally — for secondary education.

This is teaching that changes trajectories, not just test scores.

ACT FRAME: clarity, not overload

Across ACT Multi Academy Trust, teaching is grounded in ACT FRAME – Teaching That Transforms, Learning That Lasts.

ACT FRAME:

• gives teachers absolute clarity about what excellent teaching looks like;
• removes the churn of initiatives and trends;
• embeds ambition, inclusion and consistency into everyday practice;
• and protects professional autonomy within a shared language.

At Great Wilbraham, ACT FRAME means teachers can focus on what matters most: knowing children well and teaching them brilliantly.
