Despite being small in size, we are huge in ambition. We actively encourage teachers to engage in research informed practice and reflective thinking. We are part of the Inspire Federation and work collaboratively with our partner school, Seal Primary in Sevenoaks. We have forged strong links with other outstanding schools across the country and actively encourage visits to these.

Our staff are our most treasured resource and we strive to ensure that we nurture talent at all levels. We offer leadership opportunities that result in rapid career progression.

The Inspire Federation recognise the importance of family and are committed to ensuring staff are given time to share special occasions.

Staff with children under school age will be given the day off to spend their child’s birthday with them. When your child reaches school age, staff will be given time to attend school events e.g. sports day, nativities, church services.

Teachers are given two release days a term to complete medium term planning for the following term to reduce the amount of work they need to do in the school holidays, as this needs to be spent recuperating and reenergising.

This position is for a full-time teacher to start in September 2023 with the possibility of this being sooner for the right candidate.  

We strongly urge candidates to visit the school or make a telephone appointment with the Head of School as the school will only usually consider candidates which have done so.
