We are also fortunate to have an experienced and forward-thinking team of adults who are dedicated to the children they teach.

In addition to providing classroom support for the specific needs of children, the successful candidate will be able to deliver learning activities to groups of pupils. Experience of the RWI phonics programme is desirable but not essential. They will be joining a friendly and proactive staff who are strongly committed to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment for all our children.

Our exceptional teachers, support staff and leaders come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they all share a deeply held commitment to give our students an outstanding education in an inspiring and happy school environment. The Trust has grown organically to three secondary and eight primary schools based in Cheshire. The Trust operates from its head office in Macclesfield, Cheshire where the School Improvement and Business Support teams are based.
