What the school offers its staff
The school’s ultimate aim is to ensure that all children leave well prepared for secondary school – this agenda is addressed by prioritising both well-being and learning. All children are taught phonics through the Read Write Inc. scheme and additional investments have been made in high quality guided reading, writing and numeracy resources. In addition, there is a range of extra-curricular activities and a variety of opportunities to develop a broad and enriching learning experience for all pupils.
High expectations are made of all pupils to achieve and attain the very best outcomes and visitors to the school often comment on its focused yet enjoyable learning environment. Strong community links and a supportive parent / carer body contribute to the school’s journey to provide an outstanding provision for all.
Regis Manor was judged “good” at our last Ofsted inspection in July 2023 and the school continues to improve and develop.
We can offer you:
- A team of friendly, welcoming people to work collaboratively with, to plan and resource a creative curriculum.
- A range of support from a strong leadership team that will help to develop your practice.
- Excellent professional development opportunities both within the school and across the Academy Trust.
