What the school offers its staff
Thank you for your interest in joining Park Road Community Primary School.
Park Road Community Primary School is a one-form entry school. Our children sit at the heart of our learning community, together with our teachers and support staff, our parents and our Governors and Trustees. Collectively, we are committed to ensure our children receive the very best provision and care. Park Road is an exceptional school where respect and tolerance permeate throughout. Our children are treated as individuals; they are allowed to flourish and as such as they feel safe and valued.
We continually evaluate and develop our quality of education and are relentless in our pursuit of excellence. We are passionate about giving equal value to the wider curriculum so our curriculum is innovative and enhanced by enriching experiences that we have planned carefully to maximize children’s learning. Our drive to provide an exceptional quality of education is consistently strong. Development is encouraged for all so staff feel valued; teamwork is a strength of our school. As a result, our school was judged by Ofsted as ‘Good’ overall in April 2022 and our end of key stage outcomes are above national outcomes.
We are very proud of achieving an accredited ‘Wellbeing Award for School’. Our school offers a place of emotional wellbeing and support for both children, staff and families as we provide mental health provision for all. Ofsted reported that, “Governors, members of the Trust and school leaders have a clear understanding of the strengths of the school and the areas that require further development. Leaders are considerate of staff’s well-being and have taken steps to reduce workload. This helps staff to feel valued and appreciated.”
Our
school is unique in so many ways; we have home-bred chickens, guinea pigs, a
tortoise, gerbils and fish. We grow our own vegetables and have developed a
wonderful outdoor space to enhance learning, which includes our pond and forest
school area. Children have a range of opportunities to share their voice and
develop their leadership and influence on their school’s development. When our
children speak, we act
and this enables pupils to see that their voice matters. This development was
identified as a strength in our most recent Ofsted report.
Park Road is one of six schools who are part of the Omega Multi-Academy Trust and staff benefit from strong collaboration, network opportunities and a broad and varied professional development programme. We work closely with our trust colleagues to strengthen our school improvement offer and professional development opportunities. The Trust’s values, strategic vision and direction empower our school to be the best we can be and we are always supported to achieve this. Our school, and the Trust, fully support career pathways for the development of all staff, continually improving teaching and learning and therefore ensuring the best outcomes for all children and staff. During my time at Park Road I have been provided with excellent support and CPD, allowing me to develop the skills and leadership qualities.
My vision for the school moving forward, is to continue on our journey towards excellence. Children’s happiness is our main priority, as we know if children are happy and nurtured, they will always be able to thrive and subsequently be the best possible version of themselves. This is an exciting time for our school and we are looking forward to the next steps in the journey ahead.
In joining Park Road Community Primary School and Omega Multi-Academy Trust you will be joining a forward thinking, reflective and driven organisation whilst working within a community-based primary school. If you are keen to develop in your career as you work with all our colleagues, parents and the wider community and are passionate about all children achieving their true potential then the role at Park Road Community Primary School is a wonderful opportunity.
