What the school offers its staff
We are excited to have the opportunity to invite a Learning Mentor to join our existing teaching structure who will be able to make a positive contribution to the continuing development of our school. Please see the attached job description and person spec for further details.
We are a large four-form entry junior school. We are a member of the Prosper Together MAT and work together to promote school improvement and provide a range of extended services for pupils. Together we employ several staff and commission other services to provide additional opportunities for our pupils and further CPD for staff. Each school maintains its individual identity and control.
We are committed to raising standards at an academic level and we are also committed to raising standards in children’s personal development – hence our vision statement. We want to be a successful happy school for children, staff, parents and governors.
The school is confident about the future and the morale of staff is high because:
- Our latest Ofsted confirmed us to be a good school.
- Teachers and support staff are very positive and mix well in and out of school.
- We have a good combination of experienced and less experienced teachers and excellent support staff.
- The children are polite, well-behaved and motivated responding enthusiastically to positive teaching and support.
- We have some excellent indoor facilities and additional outdoor space and play activities. All our classrooms are modern with new furniture and access to a range of online resources using interactive whiteboards, laptops and ipads.
- We have good support from the local community from parents, governors and visitors who all comment positively on the ethos and values in the school. We have met the national healthy school standard, [enhancement level] have achieved science mark gold, school games mark silver and the leading parent partnership award.
We have a good reputation for music, sport and dramatic productions and offer a range of extended school opportunities for children, including a youth club which supports vulnerable children and families. We have arts mark gold and active mark as recognition of our commitment to creative arts and sport. We are an ECO school and are recognised for our Inclusive practice. All our children learn to play guitar as part of our wider offer and we benefit from onsite swimming lessons. We are a Solihull hub school for Arts Connect West Midlands helping to promote arts across the local authority.
