Further details about the role
Brenzett Primary School is a thriving and ambitious school where, in the words of our recent Ofsted inspection, pupils are blossoming academically and emotionally.

We strive to make every child feel safe, have the confidence and resilience to learn from their mistakes and to overcome difficulties with increasing independence.
As a school, we actively encourage professional development. Being part of a network of schools – connected through the Aquila Trust – we have lots of scope for our employees to learn, thrive and reach their full potential, including NPQ qualifications.

Brenzett is a Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School, for children aged 4 to 11. We are a co-educational day school which serves the Romney Marsh area south of Ashford.
As of 01 October 2016 we became an Academy under the Diocese of Canterbury's Academy Trust (Aquila). Our acts or worship reflect Anglican beliefs, practices and values and we strive to maintain a distinctive Christian ethos and feel to our school.
The teaching staff currently comprises 4 teachers in addition to the Headteacher. There is also an experienced team of teaching assistants working alongside the teachers, including Higher Level Teaching Assistants. Our maximum number of children on roll is 140.
There are currently four classes. Children remain in the school until they are 11. After this, the majority transfer to one of the local Secondary schools for their secondary education. The school actively works with parents to ensure the smoothest possible transition to secondary education. Parents are offered information sessions to assist in their choice of secondary education.
