Do you want to work with delightful children?

Are you passionate about teaching and learning?

We need you to join our lovely school!

If the answer to these questions is “Yes!” then we may be what you are looking for.

Brocklewood Primary School is an exciting place to work with a large staff of friendly and hardworking people who are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of children and families from one of the most deprived areas in Nottingham.

The school is part of Transform Trust, a group of schools where we share good practice, ideas and workload and are willing to give new ideas a go. We have access to high quality CPD for staff at all levels, including leadership development and coaching. The school was inspected in March 2023 and remains “good” in all areas.  This is an exciting time to join our forward-thinking team and to help shape further improvements beyond good.

Brocklewood staff are a strong team. They frequently learn from each other when they listen to the ‘expert in the room’. Workload is well-managed. Staff are not asked to do something without a well-researched reason.

We are proud of our Brocklewood Curriculum which has been designed to meet the needs of our pupils and prepare them to be global citizens. We are proud to be a Music Hub School, an Artsmark Gold school, forest school and have been a Voice21 Hub School for our work on oracy. PE and Sport is also a strength of our school and we have achieved School Games Gold status for the past three years and are regularly in the top 3 schools for participation in sporting events in the city.

Someone who is excited about engaging with CPD to develop their practice towards excellence.

An individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys the challenge of responding flexibly to meet the needs of the pupils.

What can we offer?

A supportive team (teachers share planning and are released for PPA together)

A comprehensive and bespoke CPD package underpinned by coaching (An accredited Area of Excellence by Challenge Partners in 2023)

Opportunities to collaborate with schools and practitioners across the Trust sharing best practice and resources
