What skills and experience we're looking for
What the school offers its staff
Lady Elizabeth Hastings C of E Primary School benefits from being a small school in a rural location. It has a family feel to it and is well supported by parents and grandparents who are welcomed into school as volunteers. As our recent Ofsted report says:
‘There is a warmth of welcome which is appreciated by pupils and their parents.’
‘The school has the highest ambition for every pupil, regardless of ability or background.’
Visitors often remark on the outstanding behaviour and friendly atmosphere that exists in school. We are a school that believes in developing good relationships where everyone cares, learns and thrives happily together. We value the contributions everyone makes to school life, placing value on the well-being of all individuals.
Christian Values: Our Christian Values are taught explicitly and discreetly throughout the curriculum. As a school we aim to bring these values to life through everything from collective worship to curriculum and architecture. The Christian Gospel says that everyone has a unique task to do, with God, and for God, whether they know it or not.
We aim to: create an atmosphere of trust and mutual support in which all children can develop intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially, morally and spiritually as individuals, members of groups, and as members of the diverse multi-cultural society in which we live.
We aim to: provide our children with experiences they need to develop into successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
We aim to: equip all children with positive attitudes, key skills and capabilities and knowledge to enable them to enjoy their childhood and serve as a foundation for further development. We encourage all children to be ‘good learners’, developing their individual talents to the full. We aim for all children to leave LEH with a sense of achievement and high self-esteem.
We aim to: involve as fully as possible all those who have a part to play in our school partnerships to provide a stimulating environment in which effective learning can take place. As a school we will work together in order to achieve the highest standards possible for each individual member of our school.
