Bursted Wood Primary is a popular over-subscribed three form entry school set within a woodland setting for children aged 4-11yrs.

We offer high standards in education and believe our children to be quite exceptional; they are respectful, kind and demonstrate a desire to learn. Our school motto of ‘Care and Respect’ is exercised by all and is considered to be an important factor in ensuring our continued success.

The successful candidate will join a highly successful, motivated and friendly team. Good levels of induction, support and professional development are the norm. In return, there is an expectation for all applicants to be dedicated, hardworking with a genuine passion for working with children.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2016, deemed us to be overall Good with the grade Outstanding awarded for our Early Years and Behaviour and Safety of children.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We promote an environment which supports equal opportunities for all.

This post is considered to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers. The school therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
