We aim to recruit someone who will support our school vision; providing our pupils, their families and our teachers with excellent support and direction.

We are a very small, village primary school, recently judged to be good by Ofsted in our February 2022 inspection. The successful candidate will work closely with our families to ensure that their voice is heard. The role will be diverse and rewarding. Please see the attached job description and person specification for more information about the post.

The successful applicant must:

We can offer you:
• The warm, welcoming, friendly feel of a small village school

• Supportive parents who want to work with us to get the best possible outcomes for their children.
• High quality, ongoing professional development.
• A highly supportive Headteacher who is committed to driving the school forward with a clear vision and high expectations.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, therefore this post will be subject to an enhanced disclosure & barring service check, pre-employment health screening check and references will be required.

Chilham St Mary’s CEP will carry out an online search as part of their due diligence on any shortlisted candidates.

Information about the school

Chilham St. Mary's is a friendly school with a real family atmosphere located in the heart of our historic village. Each child is valued as unique and filled with potential which we seek to nurture and encourage.

We are a small school with 4 classes of wonderful, hardworking children led by a dedicated team of education professionals. We are housed in five beautiful buildings on one site, two of which are Victorian and one dates back to the Tudor era.

We have strong and supportive links with the local community and the church, and we pride ourselves on our strong christian vision and values. The school plays a role in the village Remembrance Service in November and the lighting of the Christmas Tree in the Village Square each December.

We embrace small community rural living with visits to our local fire station and regular visits to the mobile library. We have regular forest school sessions enabling our children to access the curriculum in new and exciting ways. Our Year 6 children take part in a hugely enjoyable residential trip each year and also take part in the annual Cathedral Day organised by the Diocese of Canterbury.

Chilham St Mary’s has a vibrant P.T.A. that organise events and activities throughout the year. The school is also an associate member of the CARE collaboration family of schools.
