  • the opportunity to work within a caring, creative and dynamic school culture, with a dedicated, motivated and enthusiastic staff team
  • the support of experienced governors who are committed to your ongoing professional development
  • the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of our wonderful and inspiring children

School visits are strongly encouraged. To arrange an appointment, please contact Catherine Clayton, Business Manager, on 01709 740412 (see the candidate pack for available times). To discuss the role informally, please ask to speak to the current headteacher, Mark Bennett.
