Who we are looking for:

We are looking for an ambitious and inspiring class teacher to work in our wonderful school. We are open to candidates who wish to teach across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 and have the flexibility to move staffing around for the right candidate. 

About our school

Lilycroft is a much larger than average-sized primary school in a beautiful Grade II listed building. The school is situated in an area of high deprivation where Pupil Premium is currently 31%. There are 414 on roll. Almost all pupils are Pakistani Muslim, but we have a total of 17 different languages in school and 91% EAL. The majority of pupils are at an early stage of learning to speak English when they arrive but this develops quickly due to the quality of teaching in the school. We are an inclusive school and have approximately 11 children with an EHCP. The school is well liked and respected in the community, so mobility is low. Our progress scores in all areas was above national average and we are very proud of this. At our last recent inspection in November 2024 the school was judged to be Good in all areas with a strong focus on the behaviour and attitudes of all children ‘from the youngest age, children are well supported in managing their behaviour and following routines. Staff help pupils to develop positive attitudes that enable them to focus on learning.’ 

We would love to show you around our amazing school with our Headteacher Leah Florence and have availability on Monday 17th March 2025 at 4:30pm or Wednesday 19th March 2025 at 4:30pm. Please contact Holly Whyte - Deputy Headteacher holly.whyte@priestley.academy to confirm or if you require further information.
