Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy is located in the town of Bordon in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire. It lies in within the 54 hectare of Hogmoor Enclosure, about 5.4 miles (8.7 km) southeast of Alton. The town is currently changing and regenerating with many new houses, businesses and sports amenities being built.

Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy is part of the family of the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust, that has built a strong reputation, providing exceptional support for its children and staff.  Across the Trust there is a shared commitment for collaboration which has empowered leaders to share their expertise and work together for the benefit of all. We are all committed to the same vision and values and a shared belief that education has the power to transform society.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher, passionate about classroom practice and committed to high expectations for children's achievement and behavior. They must have the ability to adapt learning experiences to meet the diverse needs of students. 

The ideal candidate will possess skills to create a stimulating and purposeful learning environment that encourages all learners to reach their full potential.

Additionally, you will engage with parents, guardians, governors, and the local community to foster a supportive educational environment.

Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy is a values driven school with the values of respect, kindness, teamwork, inclusivity, aspiration and achievement underpinning everything we do. We believe that children learn best when they are happy, well cared for and secure in themselves. We work hard to build supportive relationships between all the adults and children to make sure that everybody enjoys their time in the school. We expect all members of our school community to take age appropriate responsibility for their own actions and learning. We have high expectations of everybody and provide the children with a wide range of challenging and engaging opportunities so that they can achieve at a high level.

We have introduced a two-week October half term across all our schools. This initiative is already making a positive impact giving staff and pupils a valuable break during the long autumn term, reducing absence through illness, and supporting overall well-being. It also brings greater consistency across our Trust, creating a more connected and efficient way of working. It’s just one example of how we prioritise our people and create a working environment where everyone can thrive.

At the University of Chichester Academy Trust, we believe that diversity drives creativity, innovation, and excellence. We are committed to providing equality of opportunity, fostering an inclusive culture, and creating a community where everyone feels they belong. We particularly welcome applications from individuals who are underrepresented within our workforce, including people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQI+ individuals, and women (particularly for senior leadership roles).
