What the school offers its staff
We are excited to have the opportunity to invite a new teacher to join our existing teaching structure who will be able to make a positive contribution to the continuing development of our school. This position is initially for 12 months from September 2026. Please see attached job description and person spec for further details.
We are a large four-form entry junior school. Each year group works as a team with a year leader who provides support for both curriculum and pastoral issues. Teamwork is a strength of the school at both year and subject level. Our planning structures place class teachers at the heart of the process, supported by a framework created at a whole school and year based level. We also have an inclusion and intervention team led by one of our deputy heads. The team, which includes a child and family worker, a learning support manager, a mentor/nurture assistant and an intervention assistant targets support at special needs, underachievement and vulnerable children and offers a range of support to class teachers in meeting individual needs. We also have play leaders who support vulnerable children during the lunchtime period
We are committed to raising standards at an academic level and we are also committed to raising standards in children’s personal development – hence our vision statement.
• We are a member of the Prosper Together MAT, and work together to promote school improvement and provide a range of extended services for pupils. Together we employ several staff and commission other services to provide additional opportunities for our pupils and further CPD for staff. Each school maintains its individual identity and control. There are good opportunities within the collaborative for sport and physical activities.
