We are very lucky to have a highly skilled, committed team who go above and beyond to ensure that our children feel safe and secure, enjoy their time at school and benefit from an excellent education. We are looking for a candidate who will compliment our team, united by the same central belief, that everything we do is driven by wanting the very best for our children.

We are looking for a candidate who:

believes in high expectations for child, no matter what their background or needs- because we believe in our children and their ability to succeed;

has strong interpersonal skills- including humility and being a good listener;
exudes warmth and optimism;

will be a champion of our children- always driven by doing the very best by them.

We can offer:

a school full of enthusiastic, motivated, friendly children;
colleagues who are warm and welcoming, and who work collaboratively;
supportive parents and governors;
a comprehensive and ambitious curriculum, with planning supported by a number of well chosen schemes to benefit workload;
a school which benefits from being part of a village community;
a school which has benefitted from a recent period of development- including our SEND provision and curriculum offer, and which continues to develop further under the guidance of the recently appointed headteacher.

For candidates who may not have considered a small school before- a small school offers every teacher the opportunity to make a big impact. If you are driven by the opportunity to make a tangible difference, we might just be the school for you!
