- Be flexible and adaptable;

What the school offers its staff
St Peter’s CE Junior School is a two-form entry Church of England junior school, close to the centre of Farnborough but on a beautiful, tree-lined site which we share with St Peter’s Church. For a small school, we are lucky to enjoy a range of varied facilities including a dedicated art room, lots of quiet group spaces, a pupil kitchen, and our beautiful library at the centre of the school. Not many state schools can say their library is the original entrance to a Grade-2 listed manor house with hundreds of years of history!
The successful candidate will benefit from a full induction, plenty of support from our experienced, welcoming staff team and appropriate development opportunities, as we work together to keep growing our school to give our children the best experience we can provide. ECTs will be supported throughout their induction period by an experienced mentor and through our local ‘appropriate body’ as part of the ECT framework. We work together to provide peer-to-peer teaching support, leadership advice and cups of tea when needed!
