‘Come and join our friendly, inclusive and rapidly developing school’
‘Staff feel supported by leaders and they appreciate the training they have received. Recent changes to the way that teachers assess learning have reduced staff workload’ Ofsted 2019
Here at Gladstone Road Primary school we provide a friendly and inspirational education setting for our staff and children. As a four form primary school you join the largest KS2 primary team (in the area) who will support and challenge you in your practice.
Set in the heart of Scarborough, we are very much an extension of local families and communities and we pride ourselves on being able to offer more than just ‘schooling’. Being part of #teamgladstone means you will be part of a forward thinking, evolving, individual school.
We welcomed our experienced Headteacher in January 2020 and over the last year we have overhauled our curriculum, leadership structure, provision, and learning environments.
All key areas of school improvement are being tackled, and we have a committed, talented and cohesive staff, delightful children and strong and supportive Governors – all of us united to build a school we can all be proud of.

With tailored support from our Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Heads, Phase Leaders and other skilled colleagues, we will further develop you and give you the skills, encouragement and experience within the profession you are looking for.

• A track record of raising both pupil attainment and standards of teaching and learning in KS2

• A teacher with a flair and passion for primary education who will embrace working and teaching within our ‘family’ – and bring new ideas and practices to engage both the children and the staff.
We can offer you:
• A school with a renewed focus who puts pastoral and nurture provision at its heart and an aspirational outlook for our children
• Happy, enthusiastic children who are thriving and have a thirst for learning
• Clear and tailored CPD for all staff which involves our ongoing involvement with the Chartered College of Teaching coastal Hub and access to professional qualifications through the Opportunity Area,
