Thank you for your interest in joining Park Road Community Primary School. I would like to give you a snapshot of what makes Park Road such a wonderful school and what it is like to be part of Omega Multi-Academy Trust.
Park Road Community Primary School is a one-form entry school. Our 211 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 staunchly 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.
This is driven by focused monitoring, a well-considered programme of CPD and strong subject leadership which is frequently recognised. 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 usually well above national outcomes.
We are very proud of recently achieving an accredited ‘Wellbeing Award for School’. Our school offers a place of emotional wellbeing and support for both pupils, 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.
This includes our pond and forest school area, where we cook the
produce we grow in our fire pit. Pupils 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; this support and collaboration is invaluable.
In joining 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 pupils achieving their true potential then the role at Park Road Community Primary School is a wonderful opportunity.
From September 2023, Kathryn Quigley, our current Deputy Headteacher, will lead the
school as Headteacher and she will continue to build on our outstanding work.
