St Andrew’s CE Primary School is a one and a half form entry primary school, with room to grow. Our pre-school, The Mulberry Bush, joined the school nearly 3 years ago and is now housed within the main school building. It is part of the Early Years Pod, sharing some spaces with the Reception classes, but it maintains its unique pre-school identity too. As the Pre-School leader you will have to responsibility of leading the Pre-School, whilst having the support of the school’s Early Years leader and be part of the wider school and Academy Trust community.

The school received a good grading by Ofsted in January 2020 which was a testament to the improvements the school had made. However, we are a school which is constantly seeking to improve and wish to ensure that it continues to make a difference to pupils’ lives. The school is developing a vibrant curriculum so that children leave school with a passion for learning, already having a secure and wide knowledge base and skills which will equip them for the next phase of their education, as well as life.

We are proud of our church school ethos and our partnership with the local churches. Our Christian vision has driven much of our work. We value our partnership with our local community and parents and a look on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/standrewswey/ will show how important this is to the school.
