Our Vision in Action

Guided by Mark 12:30-31, we strive to nurture the 'whole child'—encouraging them to love learning with all their heart and mind, while fostering a community built on loving our neighbours as ourselves.

The Heart of Leadership

We seek an enthusiastic, experienced educator who embodies our theologically rooted vision by valuing every child’s unique potential. You will be a source of inspiration, using your classroom expertise to collaborate with colleagues and raise standards across our school family.

Primary Mastery & Classroom Excellence

Equipped with a thorough understanding of learning and progression across Key Stage 1, you possess the versatile expertise required to manage your own classroom with academic rigor, driving high standards of learning and engagement.

Innovating Key Stage 1: Continuous Provision & Mastery

Following the highly successful implementation of continuous provision within Year 1, we are committed to evolving this child-centered pedagogy across Key Stage 1. As a forward-thinking practitioner, we are looking for someone who can help to develop the transition of this model into Year 2, ensuring it bridges the gap between early exploration and Key Stage 1 mastery.

• Nurturing the Whole Child: We are looking for a practitioner who is able to design a purposeful, resource-rich environment where child-initiated learning thrives alongside academic rigor.

• Adaptive Teaching & SEND Empowerment: True to our command to "love our neighbour," we would like someone who can use continuous provision as a vehicle for deep inclusion. By creating scaffolded, open-ended challenges and flexible learning zones, children of all abilities—particularly those with SEND—will be able to access the curriculum at their own pace, feeling fully seen, supported, and empowered.

• Fostering Independence and Trust: By using this teaching model, the successful candidate will cultivate a classroom culture built on mutual respect and high expectations. By allowing children to navigate their learning independently, this will foster resilience, solution-focused creativity, and peer-to-peer collaboration.

Compassionate Inclusion

Rooted in the command to 'love your neighbour,' we desire a teacher who can be the champion for every learner; excel in adaptive teaching and ensure that all children, particularly those with SEND, feel seen, feel supported, and empowered to succeed.

Relationships Built on Respect

Great learning begins with trust. By using positive behaviour strategies and modeling mutual respect, we would like someone who can create a classroom culture where every child feels safe, like they belong and feel valued.

A Vibrant School Life

We are looking for a dynamic educator who sees the classroom as just the beginning. Whether through music, sport, or the arts, we are eager to share your talents through vibrant extra-curricular experiences that allow our pupils to thrive.

Collaborative Spirit

The role needs a self-motivated professional who thrives in a team. Working in harmony with the children, parents, and the wider community, who can communicate with warmth and clarity to ensure our school’s reputation flourishes.

Solution-Focused Creativity

With a positive "can-do" attitude, we require someone to bring fresh, creative ideas to the table, always looking for innovative ways to overcome challenges and achieve the best outcomes for our children.

Unwavering Professionalism

Committed to the safety and well-being of all, holding an expert understanding of KCSIE is essential and seeing safeguarding as the foundation of our care for one another.

We can offer the candidate:

• Supportive parents;

• Polite, happy and engaged children with a great enthusiasm for learning;

• A very friendly, caring and enthusiastic staff team;

• Strong links with the Church and the community;

• CPD and training provided by CDAT.
