Part of Lift Schools, Utterby is a small rural school, where you will find a warm friendly welcome from all. We are federated with Lift North Thoresby and together we aim to offer our pupils rich and exciting learning opportunities that help them to achieve and develop, and inspire them to do their very best. We want our children to leave us as confident and respectful young people, equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in their lives ahead.

As we are quite a rural school, a full UK driving licence is essential as public transport options are very limited.

Here at Lift Utterby we share a special and unique learning community with our partner school Lift North Thoresby, and we are proud to serve the village of Utterby near Louth, and surrounding areas. Our staff commute not just from Louth, but from Cleethorpes, Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire.

If you want to work in a village setting with wonderful well behaved children, supportive leadership and tailored professional learning opportunities then we want to hear from you!

The children benefit from smaller than average class sizes, a teaching assistant in each class to help support with maths and literacy and our mini bus service which gives them access to learn in the outside world.

In order to continue to move forward, it is absolutely vital that we attract the right calibre of professional to work alongside our dedicated team of staff; a colleague who shares the clear vision that the child is at the very heart of everything we do; a colleague who is able to enjoy positive, professional relationships with young people; and, perhaps most importantly, a colleague who can demonstrate high levels of resilience and emotional intelligence when dealing with, at times, complex and sensitive situations.

We are part of the Lift Schools network of schools, which provides a high degree of support and expertise to the whole school community and we enjoy partnerships with other Lift Schools around the country.
