NORTH CORNWALL LEARNING TRUST

The NCLT came into being on 1st October 2018. We are a cross-phase multi-academy trust comprising one second-

ary school (Sir James Smith’s) and four primary schools (Camelford, Otterham St Breward and St Teath). We are

small rural schools with a history of working together. Governors were keen that accountability for our schools

stayed local and decided that setting up our own MAT was the best way to protect our independence and safe-

guard our future. Our staff are determined to improve opportunities and outcomes for all students and believe

that by working together we can raise standards. Colleagues in Sir Jim’s are keen to learn from their primary col-

leagues and vice versa. By working together and basing that partnership on co-operative values, more can be

achieved for students and their families, than can be achieved by schools working alone.

Staff at our schools have a professional commitment to:

• ensuring an ethos rooted in social justice and strong ethical, moral and spiritual values;

• providing the best possible education for all students and their families;

• taking collegiate responsibility for the education of all students;

• raising aspirations and levels of achievement;

• setting high standards;

• sharing expertise, knowledge, understanding, skills and resources;

• working in partnership for the benefit of all.

St Teath Primary School We are a small, successful, rural primary school, growing in size. We cater for the village of

St Teath and it’s surrounding houses and Hamlets in the beautiful area of North Cornwall.

We our fortunate to benefit from beautiful grounds and a range of teaching spaces, based around a tra-

ditional victorian school building in the heart of a strong community.

We have a hard working, dedicated team of staff who provide an amazing educational experience for our

pupils. We are passionate about academic achievement, but also want our children to enjoy a memora-

ble and happy primary school experience, full of diversity, experience and fun.

In September we will have 113 children on role and they will be split into 5 classes:

(Rec)—(Y1/2)—(Y3/4)—(Y5)—(Y6)

We are looking for two teachers to join our team. They will be based in the Y1/2 class and the Y5 class.

We are an experienced team of teachers who would be able to support an NQT or relatively inexperi-

enced teacher, the main thing is that you share our passion for ensuring that our children get the best

possible school experience during their time with us.
