What skills and experience we're looking for

What the school offers its staff

There is a pre-school facility located on the site and there are excellent links with all local providers. The curriculum in reception and Year 1 builds on the children’s prior learning and we are proud of our progressive curriculum through to Year 4 and beyond. Most children progress to St Mary’s Middle School and then on to The Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester. However, children also have the option of Dorset Studio School in Year Seven, a popular vocational route into land based or animal studies.

The Governing Body is experienced and supportive of all the staff and we also have a PTA that generates considerable additional funding to support teachers with their participation of extra-curricular trips and activities.

We have an excellent team of staff. People come to work at Puddletown and want to stay because it is such a supportive and stimulating environment to work in. They benefit from being in a bigger family of schools in the Wessex Multi-Academy Trust offering many opportunities for professional development and further career progression. As a school leader new to post you will get extensive support from the Governing Body and from the Multi-Academy Trust.

Commitment to safeguarding

Wessex Multi-Academy Trust is committed to Equal Opportunities and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
