About the School
Due to the continued success and ongoing expansion of LIPA School, we are looking to appoint a Class Teacher to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis. LIPA School’s ethos and the approach to education it has inspired has proved to be both highly successful and popular. This success, aligned to our passion for education, has led us to apply this approach to other parts of the education sector through the creation of LIPA Learning Group and the establishment of LIPA School and LIPA Sixth Form College (LSFC) alongside the original LIPA Higher Education Institute. Through this unique group LIPA leads the world.
No other creative or performing arts institution provides continuous and sector leading education from primary school through to higher education. These are not partner schools, but free schools operating as part of the LIPA Learning Group. It means a Liverpool child can complete every step of their education with us. As a school community, it is our belief that we learn best when we are actively and creatively enthusiastic in our own learning. Children, no less than adults, increase understanding, knowledge, develop skills and explore their attitudes and values working alongside people of their own age.
We aim to:
* Provide a safe environment
* Value Everyone
* Provide inspirational learning
