Clipston is a small, rural, Church of England primary school with a superb team of friendly, dedicated and happy staff who gel very well together. It is rare that we have new teaching post vacancies because once staff join us, they very rarely leave! Governors are supportive and friendly, whilst maintaining a realistic level of challenge. We all work hard and the children are at the heart of everything we do. Our Head Teacher is, however, very keen that we maintain a sensible work-life balance. Paperwork is kept to a minimum and staff meetings are only held once a week. Our staffroom at break and lunchtimes is a friendly place to be; we have time to offload and there is also lots of laughter! We received a very positive Osfted report at our recent inspection in June,– so if you’d like to join a team of hard working, forward thinking and research-based educationalists, Clipston is the school for you!
