What the school offers its staff
Lammack Community Primary School is a ‘large school which has a small family feel’ (OFSTED 2022) which is desirable to work at due to the hardworking children, fantastic staff team spirit and excellent environment and facilities. ‘Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils behave well around school and are attentive in lessons. They are exceptionally polite and well mannered during social times’ (Ofsted 2022) The school is a Voice 21 Centre of Excellence and so can offer additional development opportunities around Oracy.
We can offer:
• Well behaved, hard-working children
• First class facilities, resources and working environment (with good links to the motorway network)
• A positive, ambitious staff team – with a strong focus on teamwork
• A supportive senior leadership team
• Excellent future prospects due to the school expanding

‘Leaders are considerate of staff’s well-being when making decisions. Staff at the school feel well supported and part of a trusted team. They said that leaders are supportive and make time for them’ (OFSTED 2022).
Further details about the role
This position will give the successful candidate the opportunity to join Lammack during a significant period of expansion. There is currently a year on year increase in numbers for the coming 4 years as this very popular school grows from a 2.5 form entry to a 3 form entry school. The successful candidate would be joining the school at the optimum time for future prospects.
