Being a part of The Wensum Trust's family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels. We value our staff and are committed to supporting their wellbeing. We have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which all staff can access 24 hours a day. The EAP provides counselling services, legal information and guidance, musculoskeletal services and online resources such as nutrition diaries, healthy eating plans, personal coaching questionnaires and tools and fitness programmes. We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.

As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team. Kinsale Junior School is a co-educational school for children from 7 to 11 years old. It is the popular and natural school of choice within Hellesdon and attracts many pupils from a wider area. At Kinsale Junior School we wish to promote a culture of learning and achievement for all, within a caring and supportive environment. It is our intention that all who work within and for the school will thrive to fulfil their potential, experience success and celebrate their achievements. Our pupils will become well-rounded, socially successful individuals who recognise the relevance and value of life long learning and we will encourage them to become highly motivated, confident, independent learners. We have a simple motto: 'Encouragement works best and success breeds success'. We regard our partnership with parents and carers as vital for each child's success. With support from home, we feel confident of enabling children to make the most of the many opportunities that lie ahead. We are committed to providing the best education possible, to meet the needs of every pupil. We aim to do our best to help every child do his or her best, so that they may become the best they can be. We believe education should be concerned with every aspect of a child's development. We therefore provide a wide-ranging set of planned learning opportunities for them to experience. Our aim is to help every pupil to develop the ability to realise his, or her, aspirations, to acquire the attitudes, understanding and skills to become a successful learner, a confident individual and a responsible citizen.
