Located in the heart of Portsmouth, The Flying Bull Academy is a two form entry primary school with a vibrant Nursery and an alternative provision setting for children with SEMH needs. The Academy is proud of its caring ethos; encouraging and supporting children and colleagues to achieve their full potential.  It is a positive, vibrant school, with a curriculum that inspires and enables our children to build upon prior knowledge and experiences in order to deepen their knowledge both academically and socially.

We can offer a hardworking, fun and proactive team with a range of skills across the curriculum, who are willing to offer support and expertise to develop your own practice. Being a reflective school, we continually strive to innovate and improve practice and a commitment to quality professional development.

You will have a positive attitude, be resilient and hard working with the ability to work on your own initiative while understanding the need to work as part of a cohesive team to secure the best possible learning and teaching for all.

In return, you will be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust, bringing you added benefits and opportunities, for example specialised professional development from practitioners through cutting edge research. You will find that each of our Academies has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.
