Thank you for considering Queens! We are a 3 form Junior School based not far from Nuneaton town centre that is part of the Diocese of Coventry Multi Academy Trust.

As a Church of England School, we have a really clear Christian Vision of 'Love in Action' (taken from Romans 12:10) that at its heart means to 'honour others above yourself'. This Vision is lived out through our Cultures which are articulated and embraced by all children and staff across the school. These cultures include 'Oomph!', 'Fall down 7 times, stand up 8!', 'Tell the truth - even if your voice shakes', 'Cocoon' (reflective time), 'Diversity!' and many others! A couple of years back, the children talked about all these cultures in a video when we were thinking about 'What makes us proud of Queens?'. Please watch it to find out more about our great cultures. https://youtu.be/w1d8WAm61zo

After you've watched it, please do have a read of our SIAMs report from 2022 because we believe there is no better way to sum up what it means to be a part of the Queens Community than what was said in that report.

We would always encourage people interested in working at our school to come and visit or arrange a phone call with the Headteacher to find out more about our school and see how you can fit into our team.
