About Waterman Primary School

Nestled in the heart of Rochford, Essex, Waterman Primary School is a proud member of the HEARTS Academy Trust. We are a small, close-knit school with a genuine ‘family feel,’ where every child is known, valued, and nurtured.

We cater to children from Nursery through to Year 6, offering a warm and supportive environment where each child can thrive. Our beautiful school grounds include a spacious outdoor area that our children enjoy every day, encouraging exploration, play, and a love of nature.

One of our standout features is our refurbished indoor heated swimming pool, where all children benefit from free weekly swimming lessons—right on site.

Our curriculum is both ambitious and aspirational, designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Rooted in our HEARTS values, it reflects our commitment to excellence, care, and opportunity for every child.

Waterman Primary School is part of the HEARTS Academy Trust, a Trust of local schools that has the values of happiness, equity, achievement, resilience, truth and spirituality. The Trust is truly innovative and rewards outstanding staff for outstanding outcomes. The school calendar consists of 184 days contact time with pupils, 5 non-pupil days and the equivalent of 6 days of high quality continuous professional development.

We can offer you:

- an excellent CPD entitlement with purposeful training, including Trust-wide twilights throughout the year

- a two-week October half-term

- supportive colleagues who want to provide the best possible opportunities for their pupils

- a highly effective learning environment

- a responsive and involved leadership team

- an 80:20 teaching model (4-day teaching week where all teachers receive an additional 10% non-contact (PPA) time each week as part of the Trust policy)

- a school with a highly positive culture that supports all staff; mental health, workload and wellbeing are at the forefront of our vision and values

- access to our school counsellor and network of Mental Health and Wellbeing champions
