Broadening Horizons Together
Coastal Learning Partnership (CLP) is a Partnership of sixteen schools across two local authority areas (Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole councils). Our central offices are based at Heathlands Primary Academy in West Howe, with our furthest points being St. Clement’s and St. John’s CE Infant School (in a beautiful Victorian building in sunny Boscombe) and St. Mark’s CE Primary School (a purpose-built school close to the Swanage seaside).
CLP encourages and celebrates variety and difference between its schools, setting it apart from other Multi Academy Trusts. CLP does not ask schools to be the same as each other but rather to learn from and support each other. Bringing its own expertise and character, each CLP school adds to the overall diversity of the group. About half of CLP schools are community schools and the others are Church schools. All are primary-based, some are infant, others junior and others full primary; varying from 720 pupils in our largest school, Baden-Powell and St. Peter’s CE Junior and about 70 pupils at Corfe Castle CE Primary School. All schools are equally valued and share the same vision: to be ‘schools of choice’ which enable all children to become confident, compassionate, respectful and proficient citizens.
We welcome applications from those who are able to provide short or long term cover, on a full-time or part-time basis. In return for your flexibility and commitment, we offer positive and welcoming environments, in schools you can be proud of. In addition to statutory training and access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme we also offer a wide range of wellbeing and cost saving benefits.
Opportunities exist across our group of schools and those appointed may be asked to join any of our existing school teams. Applicants are invited to provide information regarding their preferences for schools, age range and availability, this will be taken into account in any deployment decision.
