• We have a strong teaching team with a forward thinking and innovative Leadership Team.
• We have excellent facilities including an all weather playing surface, science garden and pond, separate multi games area and extensive grounds.
• We have specialist teachers covering French and Music.

We are looking for someone who is an exceptional class teacher, a strong team player with high expectations of all, who is committed to supporting all children to succeed.

Applications from Early Career Teachers are warmly received.  The school offers an excellent ECT induction programme and has a proven record of developing outstanding teachers, many of whom have continued their career development into year leader roles within our setting.  As an ECT, you would join our ECT induction programme, supported by all our staff, and a dedicated mentor. Our ECT programme provides the bridge between Initial Teacher Training and a successful teaching career.
