Job overview
Originally, this post would have been created for September 2025 as we welcome more children to our academy and build our staff team. However, because of the wonderful news that one of our team will be taking maternity leave from February, we have been able to bring the appointment of a new class teacher forward to January 2025. In the first instance, you will cover the maternity of our current member of staff in Year 1 until the end of this academic year before taking on a new class in September 2025.
As Livingstone Academy grows to its full capacity, this post offers a huge opportunity for the right person to grow as a professional, gaining both direct experience in various roles and gaining added responsibility as you develop. We strongly believe in developing our staff to be the best they can be and developing leadership at all levels, and we offer an extensive professional development package. This is an exciting opportunity in a forward-thinking academy within a growing Academy Trust.

At Livingstone Academy, we are passionate about excellence in education, giving pupils the very best start in life with a firm belief that aspirational teaching transforms lives. Our core belief is that for all students to have high aspirations, they must believe in themselves (SELF WORTH), be actively engaged in their learning (ENGAGEMENT) and see the connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow (PURPOSE). Livingstone Academy is part of Aspirations Academies Trust, who sponsor primary and secondary academies located across the UK.
