  • All staff have access to Kent Rewards, a site offering cash back, discounts and vouchers for a range of popular high street stores 
  • Throughout the year, school and trust wide social events will be available. These will all be optional, but we believe in developing relationships and social events can certainly help! Events will be informal affairs, usually in informal settings and are open to all staff 
  • A large, modern and well-resourced primary school, set in excellent school grounds, where opportunities for high quality outdoor learning are facilitated 
  • An opportunity to share a real, relevant and engaging curriculum.
