Dudley Academies Trust,

Kates Hill Primary are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Teacher to join our ambitious and supportive team. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate educator who is committed to delivering outstanding teaching and learning, ensuring all students are engaged, motivated, and make strong progress.

The successful candidate will demonstrate high professional standards, use assessment and data effectively to drive achievement, and create inclusive learning experiences that meet the needs of every learner. Working collaboratively with colleagues and Teaching Assistants, you will contribute to the development of high-quality curriculum resources while continuously developing your own professional practice and subject knowledge.

This is a fixed term role to cover the maternity leave of the current post holder.

Kates Hill is an average size school, with an intake of 60 pupils and thriving Nursery and Reception classes. It is located in an area of high educational and economic deprivation. Despite this, assessment results improved steadily over the years up to 2019 when they were last published. The school joined Dudley Academies Trust in June 2022.

Kates Hill is a school where values are embedded into the curriculum and all activities. This has been a factor in the school twice being judged as 'Good' by Ofsted. The outdoors is built into the school's teaching, sports and activities. Among other aspects of this approach are a KS1 play area with climbing frame, pirate ships, activity cabins and clambering features, a Trim Trail, Forest School, and an Edible Garden, where the pupils learn about growing plants and the science behind it.

The Trust recognises that our staff are our most value asset and investing in our people is a key strategic priority. An extensive program of staff development is operated within school and across the Trust, and this is extended to senior and middle leaders, aspiring leaders, and teaching and associate staff.
