‘Love Each Other, Love Our World, Love Ourselves’

Do you fancy working in a friendly family feel school? A small school where everyone is given the opportunity to shine; where love and kindness is celebrated and where everyone's voice is equally important; where a therapeutic approach underpins all our interactions with our children.

New Christ Church is a small Church of England primary school with 200 children, based on the edge of the centre of Reading. We encourage you to come and visit and see what a warm and welcoming school we are!

We can offer you:

- Children who will make your heart soar as they grow and learn

- Staff who group together and support one another through thick and thin

- Staff who ‘… are proud to be part of the team and clearly enjoy working at this school. Staff value that leaders are considerate of their workload and well-being..’ (OFSTED Sept 2022)

- A curriculum that is tailored to the needs of our children and well supported by high quality schemes

- A commitment to professional development (including ECT support), and a belief in driving improvement

- A laptop to support your work in school

- The opportunity to work with a wider professional team of unique schools, all brilliantly supported by a Trust who strongly value the individual school’s character, ethos and approaches.

- A car park on site

Our OFSTED report (where we were judged Good in all areas) said: ‘New Christ Church is an inclusive school community. Pupils are proud to come to school and learn alongside their friends. Staff have prioritised building trusting relationships. They know all pupils well and make sure their needs are met. This helps pupils feel content, cared for and safe..’

Joining our school family means you’ll need to:

- Be an enthusiastic teacher who is a team player (ECT Teachers are very welcome to apply!)

- Be flexible and adaptable

- Be organised and a good communicator

- Have a good sense of humour

- Be thoughtful, reflective and a positive role model

Do you have the skill, experience and vision that we are looking for?
