Can you help us develop the SMART CREATIVES of the future?

Join us on our journey and be part of something special.

Wednesfield Technology Primary School is part of the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust, providing staff with opportunities to progress both within the school, and across the Trust.

We are a brand new innovative two-form entry free school primary that opened in September 2024 and is situated in the heart of Wednesfield. We are a Passivhaus School with pupils in the early years and KS1, ready to make a huge impact with only a tiny carbon footprint!

Our sister school: Shireland Technology Primary, was rated as outstanding by Ofsted in all areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.

It is the blueprint for this new school and we will also ‘provide an exceptional education for all pupils’.

Our purpose is to empower pupils to achieve beyond expectations by providing the best technology-enabled education opportunities.

We are seeking a hardworking and committed employee who shares in our passion for making a difference to the lives of children. A good command of the English language, strong communication skills and relevant qualifications and experience are paramount for the successful candidate.   

We are looking for someone who is dynamic, strives to continually improve, with a collaborative and friendly disposition who can work as part of a team and will take initiative. We place high precedent on IT skills, as a Technology Primary, and would prefer applicants to have a good understanding of Microsoft Office.

In return we will offer:

• Opportunities across our MAT to enhance skills and experience at both primary and secondary level.
• Excellent career development opportunities.
• Exceptional CPD provision including regional, national and international experts in their field.
• A technology rich environment which allows staff to be innovative in harnessing technology for learning.
• The chance to be part of a brand-new school with a new building with unique facilities and an amazing team.

Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects its entire staff to share this commitment.  All post-holders will be required to have an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), including a Children’s Barred List check for post carrying out a regulated activity.
