Ospringe CE Primary School are seeking a caring and dedicated professional with experience of engaging with families, providing support, and with experience of managing and implementing safeguarding procedures.

The selection process will determine the candidate’s capability and suitability for the post. Usually personal visits to the school are warmly encouraged. However, in the current climate this will be a telephone conversation with Mrs Amanda Ralph, the Headteacher or Mrs Kate Hostead, the Assistant Headteacher. Please contact the school to make an appointment on 01795 532004.

At this stage it is uncertain as to the exact form the interviews will take; these will be held either remotely or face-to-face depending on Covid-19 guidance and advice at the time.

Offer of appointment is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS Disclosure. Ospringe CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all adults in our school to share this commitment.

Information about the school

Ospringe is a Church of England Primary School with a strong and caring ethos. We are oversubscribed and have 210 pupils on roll taught in 7 classes within our spacious school site on the outskirts of Faversham.
Our Ospringe school family’s Christian ethos: nurture- grow- succeed; is underpinned by Jesus’ mustard seed parable- from the smallest seeds grow the greatest shrubs (Mt13v31-32). Valuing our diverse community, together we embody our vision, “With God’s guidance; sowing the seeds of success; nurturing and inspiring pupils and adults to flourish.” Our children are happy, keen to learn and well behaved. We work hard to encourage each child to reach their full potential and are proud of the support and care given by our staff to all pupils. As Ofsted noted when we were inspected in June 2023: "Leaders and staff know the pupils well. Consideration is given to every pupil’s social, emotional and learning needs, and support is provided whenever required. Consequently, pupils benefit consistently from the rich curriculum on offer."
