King's Meadow Academy

About King's Meadow Academy

King’s Meadow Academy is an average size Primary School in the former mining town of Kinsley.
We joined Waterton Academy Trust in 2018 and through this collaboration as well as the tremendous efforts of the whole staff team the school is improving in all key areas.
There has been a significant amount of work that has gone into recent positive transformation and I thank you in advance for your interest in joining our team. Our senior leadership team is visible and supportive. We see teaching as the craft that is and we devote time and resources to develop this entitlement for all colleagues at whatever stage of their careers.
Our curriculum is engaging and our aim is to allow children to immerse themselves and connect with what they are learning. The children and families we serve and support are what makes the school have such a special draw for those that work here.
Our staff team here at KMA are rightly proud of the achievements and recent improvements to date, but we are not stopping there. We have plans to ensure the school becomes highly effective at ensuring children have the best possible chance to succeed here, as well as at secondary school and beyond! 
We have dedicated, professional staff who are committed to offering pupils a successful and happy time at school. Our curriculum is implemented to give children the chance to be curious, reflective and take risks. This allows them to develop resilience.
The school has been on an incredible journey and whilst supporting our pupils to be the very best learners, the development of our community is also an extremely important key driver within our work. It is a key priority for us to ensure that we have a very positive relationships with parents and carers in order to fully support the learning of all young children.
We value our close partnerships with parents and are committed to being part of the local community.
So, if you wish to work in a fast-paced school with a supportive leadership team complimented by a forward-thinking and innovative trust then we look forward to hearing from you.
