At Overdale Junior School we support and develop our teachers through a supportive coaching programme, working alongside each other to develop best teaching and learning practices. We are forward thinking and implement latest research and technology.

The successful candidate will need to embrace technology to enhance teaching and learning in their classroom. This is an exciting and revolutionary period for our school which we are very proud of.

Our vision and values are at the heart of everything we as the OAK Trust do, this drives our commitment to the concept of a MAT as a family of schools working collaboratively with and supporting each other to ensure all our children realise their full potential as learners and as citizens, and that no child is left behind.
