About the role
The Castle Federation in Berkhamsted has two fantastic opportunities for teachers to join its teams at Victoria CE Infant and Nursery School and at Thomas Coram CE School, covering class teachers while they are on maternity leave.
Our schools pride themselves on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment in which children can flourish. As Church of England schools, we have a strong Christian ethos and values-based approach, aimed at developing the whole child and making our schools happy places to learn and work.
Victoria is a two-form entry infant school with a large nursery class and Thomas Coram is a four-form entry junior school. We have one governing body and work closely together. Our staff teams are strong and supportive and the successful candidates will be able to make a real difference.

Our schools are committed to safeguarding and to promoting children’s wellbeing. We expect staff and volunteers to share that commitment and successful candidates will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check.

We are a Voluntary Aided school in the St. Albans Diocese and Local Authority of Hertfordshire. Our school is part of the Berkhamsted Schools’ pyramid and serves a mixed catchment.
Although we are a church school, we welcome children from all faiths and no faith. Our core Christian values are respect, responsibility and friendship; these values were chosen by children, parents, staff and governors and we believe they are essential to enable every child to grow up as happy, secure and well-adjusted individuals. These values firmly underpin all that we do.
We aim to ensure that our young people succeed and become confident young adults, equipped for life in the 21st century. We look forward to working in partnership with parents, pupils and the wider community as we build on past successes and move confidently into the future.
The school is located on the Hemel Hempstead side of Berkhamsted and has easy access to London and the Chilterns. It serves the local community and surrounding villages.
