A new, exciting opportunity has arisen for our internal colleagues to join our established team of expert primary subject/ aspect Directors at Co-op Academies Trust.  Initially, this is a 12 month secondment opportunity. We are looking for an outstanding practitioner within the primary phase who has a proven track record of securing improvements in pupils’ outcomes within English across the primary age range. This is a crucial role within our School Improvement Strategy, as we continue to expand this team over time. 

You will work directly with the head teachers, Primary English leaders and teachers to identify the strengths and weaknesses and support academies to address their areas of development in this crucial subject area. You will be a pivotal person to show and share the best Primary English practice across our academies. The successful candidate will help our primary academies to build their own sustainable capacity and lead improvements. You will be expected to deliver regular professional development sessions to English leaders to improve pupils’ outcomes. You will be a consistently very good/outstanding teacher with some of your time being spent modelling teaching English in allocated academies, leading by example. You will be instrumental in developing the Primary English curriculum, assessment and in improving standards in all our primary academies.
