An excellent education transforms lives and every pupil who attends one of our schools is given the support, care and opportunity they need to flourish. Which is where you come in.

You will have a passion for diversity and a proven track record in raising standards. If you are ambitious, driven and resilient this is the right opportunity for you.
This is an excellent opportunity for a leader looking to combine the experience of running a school with the benefit of working as part of a national trust. You will be joining the leading inclusive educational trust in the country - one where you have more opportunities to forge your own path, where your work is truly valued and where you will receive the recognition and rewards to motivate you to build on your achievements.

Anglesey Primary Academy is an exciting and vibrant place to work that is forward-thinking with dedicated, hardworking staff who are committed to serving a culturally and linguistically diverse community. The school was graded as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in December 2019. We are a large 3 form entry primary school with 585 pupils. Approximately 81% of children are bilingual or multilingual and there are 27 different languages spoken within the school. We have children from many diverse backgrounds, speaking a number of different languages. As a school we celebrate this diversity. Our specialist EAL team are trained in our main languages and support children, parents and staff, as well as assessing children in their first language. They also ensure that all children develop their grasp of English as a language as quickly as possible.
Our school is well equipped with appropriate resources to support all our children and their diverse cultural and religious experiences and backgrounds are reflected in the curriculum and activities that the school organises.
Our Vision and Values
At Anglesey Primary Academy we constantly endeavour to create a welcoming, secure, and stable environment. Only then can we successfully achieve our aims and help the children reach their full potential.
Anglesey is AIMING HIGH
AMBITION - Reaching our dreams ATTITUDE - Being responsible ACHIEVEMENT - Doing our best ACTION - Making it happen.
Our aims are to:
- To encourage active partnership between home, school and the community and their participation in all aspects of school life.
- To raise standards and achievement through high expectations.
- To offer equal opportunities to all children and staff regardless of gender, religion, race or any other special needs.
- To provide, through the statutory requirements, a wide range of broadly based experiences appropriate to individual needs so as to enable every child to realise his or her potential.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum reflects the attitudes, values and respect that we have for all ethnic groups that make up the diverse community of our school. So, for example, the history curriculum gives due emphasis to ancient African traditions and cultures in the work that the children do on the Ancient Egyptians. In the religious education curriculum topics focus on religious festivals, the children study the importance of Diwali to Hindus and Vaisakhi to Sikhs. We also celebrate Eid, Diwali, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Easter and Harvest through a range of phase assemblies and topics that are researched and produced by different year groups. Teachers often celebrate other religious festivals if they have a child in their class from a particular religious background
As a school we constantly review the curriculum and insure that it reflects the needs of our community and our children.
