The ethos of Sandling School is to: work together, achieve together and have fun together; this is true of the whole school community. Our last OFSTED inspection in February 2020 recognised that “leaders know the school well, our pupils enjoy coming to school, parents appreciate the range of clubs available, staff have high expectations with no ceiling on what children can achieve.” Following the relocation of the current post holder, we are looking for an inspirational and enthusiastic leader to join our senior leadership team.

We can offer you: • effective induction; • continuing professional development; • polite, motivated, enthusiastic and well behaved children; • parents who want to know about and support their child’s learning; • a well-resourced school; • an ethos of no ceiling on what children can achieve; • a strong governing body; • the opportunity to help shape the priorities which drive the continual improvement of our school.
