We feel this is an exciting opportunity for someone to join our team on the next part of the school’s journey.   We want someone who has a growth mindset and a drive/passion for education; where fun, enjoyment and quality first teaching is at the heart of all lessons.   We want a new member of staff to help enhance and bring our curriculum to life with imaginative ideas and who has strong subject knowledge.  

If you can answer ‘yes’ to the questions below, please apply as we would love to meet you.

As noted by OFSTED, leaders and teachers have high expectations and staff provide pupils with a high-quality environment that encourages learning and supports activities.

Visits are a must, so you can best decide whether or not; this is the school for you!   I look forward to meeting any potential candidates and showing off our lovely school, especially our extensive grounds.
