Class Teacher

We are excited to offer the opportunity for you to join our wonderful team at Harris Primary Academy Haling Park as a Class Teacher in Early Years, covering maternity leave from September 2026. We are a Primary Academy for local children which opened in 2014. We believe that children thrive when they are consistently happy and safe at school. We aim to provide our children with an enriched and engaging curriculum - supported to be the best they can be, by our dedicated teachers and support staff. Our academy is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages all students to reach their full potential. We believe that every child is unique, with their own set of talents and abilities, and we strive to create a curriculum and learning experiences that are tailored to meet their individual needs. At Harris Primary Academy Haling Park, we believe in the importance of developing well-rounded individuals, who not only excel academically but also possess a strong sense of character and values. We aim to instil in our students a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge that will stay with them for life. We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students, and we are committed to continuing to provide them with the very best education and opportunities. We believe that by working together as a community, we can help our students to achieve their full potential and make a positive difference in the world.
