• Is reliable, enthusiastic, and ready to get involved in all aspects of school life

In return, we can offer:

• A warm, supportive staff team and a welcoming village school community

• A varied role where no two days are the same

• Opportunities for professional development

• Beautiful surroundings and a school with a strong ethos and values

• The chance to make a real difference in a small school where every child is known and valued
