What the school offers its staff
Hello! My name is Jayne Spreadbury. I am in the fortunate position of being the head teacher of Spinfield School in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. I would like to take a moment to tell you why Spinfield should be the next place for you to work.
Our recent OFSTED inspection in May 2025 recognised that “pupils get a great education at Spinfield Primary School. They benefit from the school’s rich and ambitious curriculum, which inspires them to achieve highly. The school’s inclusive ethos ensures everyone feels part of this close-knit community.”
Our children want to learn, which means your teaching will be valued. Our children are exceptionally well behaved, polite and enthusiastic.
PPA is delivered by teachers and you will be guaranteed the correct amount of time in accordance to your working hours - we have a completely flexible approach to where PPA is taken at home or in school is fine with us!
You won’t find more supportive parents or governors at any other school.
You will enjoy working here. You can expect to work hard but you will feel rewarded and have opportunities to continue your professional development in a school that is well resourced, vibrant and friendly.
We have a great team spirit – we believe that new thinkers and people with experience make a perfectly balanced environment in which you will succeed.
Come along and meet us! I’ll be proud to show you our school and you’ll be able to see what we’re about. Please email office@spinfieldschool.co.uk for an application pack.
