An amazing opportunity!

We are looking for a Lunchtime Supervisor to join our existing team.

The advertised working hours for our Lunchtime Supervisors are longer than most schools. The extended hours allow our Lunchtime Supervisors to gain some experience in other roles in the wider school.

This could be anything from supporting the Admin Team in the main school office, general housekeeping duties around our wonderful school environment or supporting children in the classroom environment at the start of learning time in the afternoons.

We believe that this reflects our commitment to our support staff and the value that we place on enabling everyone to progress in terms of their knowledge, skills and career aspirations.

About us

We opened the doors to Watling Primary School in September 2023 and have just opened our Nursery this academic year. At full capacity, our Nursery will accommodate 39 children. The school itself will be a 3-form entry primary with places for 630 pupils.

At Watling Primary School we give children an education that will prepare them for a future we can’t even begin to imagine. In addition to the Primary National Curriculum subjects, we focus on developing STEM capabilities (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

The holistic growth of every child through play, exploration, supported risk-taking and opportunities to make connections with the natural world forms an integral part of our curriculum. For this reason, learning outdoors in Forest School is a key part of our provision.

Are you looking for…

The opportunity to join a new school at the start of the journey?

A close working relationship with a small team of like-minded individuals?

An opportunity to shape the strategic direction of the school, working closely alongside the Headteacher?

Access to a wide range of roles in order to gain new skills and experiences?

Extensive opportunities for career progression that will occur naturally as the school grows?

We can offer you…

Reduced rates for staff who have children attending our school at our W@W Club (before and after school wraparound provision).

A commitment to continuing professional development, succession planning and extensive opportunities for career progression.

A focus on staff well-being and creating a positive learning environment for all members of the school community.

An opportunity to be brave and try innovative ways of delivering excellence in education.

A brand-new school environment with a focus on sustainability and eco principles e.g. solar panels, intelligent lighting, air source heat pumps, etc.

Dedicated Forest School provision.

Outdoor areas including playing fields, Multi Use Gym Areas (MUGA), sensory landscaping, hard and soft play areas.

Designated internal areas e.g. STEM Room, Arts Studio, Sensory Room, group work rooms, stunning library area, purpose-designed staff room and separate staff work room.
