The successful candidate will be expected:

In return we can offer you:

  • leadership development
  • the opportunity to help shape the future direction of the school
  • a recognised and strong commitment to continuing professional development

We have systems in place to support staff and students and this rewarding role has the potential to provide an ambitious teacher with the opportunity for valuable professional development.

St Peter’s Middle School is on an exciting upward trajectory of rapid school improvement. We maintained our Ofsted 'Good' status in 2023 and SIAMS recognised the school as ‘Good’ in 2019. We are rightly very proud of our achievements. In April 2021 we opened our new key stage 2 facility following a multi-million-pound investment from the local authority. We encourage you to visit us to see how you can contribute to our school development and student progress and attainment.

You will work with students aged 9-13 years (Years 5-8), thus gaining combined primary and secondary experience. We very much welcome applicants from both primary teachers wishing to develop their specialism in music and from secondary teachers wishing to develop their experience of KS2. This is a magical age group to teach and we have the privilege of building effective long-lasting foundations for lifelong learning. We are part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) which enables us to offer a wide range of networking and developmental opportunities across multiple schools within the Multi-Academy Trust.

Applicants are very welcome to arrange a tour/visit to the school by contacting the School Business Manager, Mrs Ersi Vasileiou at e.vasileiou@st-petersoldwindsor.org.uk or call the school office on 01753 866253

Please be aware that suitable candidates may be offered an interview upon receipt of their application and this position may therefore be filled in advance of the deadline.
