About this Role

Join King's Lander Primary Academy – Where Futures Begin

KS1 Classroom Teacher - Join us September 2025

At King's Lander Primary Academy, we believe every child deserves an education that empowers, inspires, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning. As a proud member of the Great Schools Trust, we are committed to delivering exceptional educational experiences within a warm, inclusive, and ambitious environment.

Our academy is a vibrant and diverse community where staff, pupils, and families work in partnership to ensure that every learner flourishes. We celebrate individuality, promote high expectations, and provide rich opportunities for personal and academic growth. At King's Lander, our values are not just words on a wall—they are lived every day through our curriculum, behaviour, and community engagement.

In our most recent Ofsted inspection on 23 June 2023, the school was rated 'Good' across all key areas, including leadership, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to high educational standards and continuous improvement.

We are seeking passionate professionals who are enthusiastic about making a difference. Whether you are an experienced educator or just starting your journey in education, you’ll find a supportive team, ongoing professional development, and the chance to help shape the lives of children in a school where ambition meets care.

The Great Schools Trust was recently recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-improving multi-academy trusts and shortlisted for MAT of the Year. We are redefining education through innovation, values-led leadership, and a culture where both students and staff flourish. With all academies rated Good or better by Ofsted and a strong +0.4 Progress 8 score, we are proud to be transforming futures across our communities.

Our motto, Credmus Believe, underpins everything we do. We believe in our pupils, our staff and our community. Join us and be part of a team that’s shaping futures, every single day.
