Information about the school
I am delighted to welcome you to Molehill Primary Academy.
The sense of pride that we each feel here at Molehill is strengthened by our commitment to placing our pupils at the centre of their learning. Teachers have embedded a culture of high expectations; we will all do whatever it takes to create better life opportunities for our children who deserve the very best. We care about our pupils and the communities we serve, and driven by our strong moral purpose we work together to achieve excellence for all, creating confident, resilient children.
Our pledge to parents is that we will provide every pupil with the knowledge, skills, self belief and motivation to be successful in their learning and lives. At Molehill, we promote the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile Attributes to support the development of life-long learners. Our pupils are inquirers, our curriculum develops their natural curiosity and allows them to apply their thinking skills creatively. We strive to ensure that, through our excellent teaching, pupils become highly articulate communicators, who act with integrity and honesty. Our pupils demonstrate on a daily basis that they are caring individuals, and they, like us, want to make a positive difference to the lives of others.

This is a permanent opportunity offering an actual salary of £18,437 per annum (£24,404 full time equivalent) per annum based on 32.5 hours per week, Term Time + 1 week of inset.
