Do you want to work in a values-led school with a commitment to staff growth and well-being as well as outstanding progress for all pupils? Do you have a passion for children in Early Years and want to work in a dedicated team with fantastic leadership? If so, we would love to hear from you!

St. Andrew's is a Christian values-led, highly popular school and nursery in the heart of Kettering and is part of the Peterborough Diocese Academy Trust (PDET). We're proud of the way children not only make great progress in their learning, but also how we take such pride in developing our children's character and behaviour. Children are at the heart of every decision we make as we strive to serve and better our community.

Following a recent successful OFSTED inspection in 2023, our school has received a very well-deserved rating of Good, and inspectors commented; "This is an extremely inclusive and welcoming school. Pupils get on well with each other. They are caring and kind. They enjoy positive relationships with staff. Staff hold pupils’ interests at the heart of all that they do."

We are proud to be recruiting for a caring, passionate and professional Teaching Assistant, to join our EYFS Team, who is eager to provide learning and pastoral care of our children.
