Jobs

Joseph Turner Primary School is eager to appoint a Learning Mentor to join our pastoral team. The candidate must be experienced and confident in supporting primary aged children with a range of needs.  You should be passionate about ‘making a difference’ to the lives of our pupils.

We believe that behaviour is a form of communication and we put the pupil at the centre of everything we do. Staff are emotionally intelligent, modelling and teaching children strategies which enable them to recover their own behaviour and make better choices in the future. You will play an important part in supporting children to develop strategies so that they can fully engage with all of the curriculum and make better than expected progress.

Joseph Turner is a friendly community school with welcoming staff. You will receive high quality professional development and day-to-day support from our pastoral team and senior managers. As a whole school we continually work to develop pedagogy and you will be involved in classroom practice that inspires children to become lifelong learners. Our pupils have extremely high expectations of their teachers and support staff; they are eager to learn and proud to achieve.

Ofsted (March 2024) judged us as ‘Good’ in all areas. 

“The school works tenaciously to overcome any barriers that pupils may face in learning and life.”
“Changes are happening quickly and making a positive difference.”
“Behaviour is generally positive across all lessons and at informal times. Staff quickly help pupils who need help staying focused in lessons or regulating their emotions.”  
“The support for pupils with social, emotional and mental health is particularly strong.”
