We have a supportive staff team, excellent teaching assistants and offer our pupils an exciting curriculum.

What we can offer you as part of our team:

• A caring and supportive school where children love to learn;
• The chance to teach an exciting curriculum (with opportunity for outdoor learning, PE and music covered by specialist teachers and cross-class and cross-school collaboration);
• A progressive school environment, where team-work and a shared vision drive school development;
• Opportunities within our federation with Brooke VC Primary to develop, share and collaborate with other teachers;
• A staff charter, showing our commitment to your career, ability to get on with the job and wellbeing, including PPA time available to be taken from home;
• Support and CPD through our National College Subscription, our ITT student teacher offer, and our work with VNET, Educate Norfolk and the Local Authority.

• Teach active and engaging lessons with high expectations from all children, engaging strategies and which are challenging and supportive of all;
• We actively support pathways to employment for the right people for our school. If you are the right person for our school, you might be looking to return to teaching after a break, from a global-majority background or from other diverse backgrounds.

At Hempnall Primary School we work hard to eliminate direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation; advance equality of opportunity; and foster good relations between all those within our school community. We do this with regard to the nine protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010.
