Old Priory Junior Academy is a well-regarded school situated in Plympton, Plymouth. We are a popular school because of our high expectations and because our school values underpin all that we do.

We are looking for a rigorous practitioner with a creative flare and zest to bring learning to life for all our pupils. You will be experienced and skilful in challenging each pupil, whatever their starting point, using your strong pedagogical practice and philosophy, which underpins your approach to teaching. You will be used to working in positive and proactive ways, as well as collaborating with others, to drive high expectations, supporting the overall school improvement.
