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.

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).
