What the school offers its staff
Working at The Hundred of Hoo Primary Academy: Do you want to work in a school where staff say, “I feel like we all have a good connection within the workplace and we all work well together.” and “Connecting with people allows you to share ideas, support each other and makes the workplace happier.”

The school staff are very kind and helpful at all times. I feel the school as a whole is a nice place to be”.
