If you can:

• Inspire and innovate
• Nurture and develop (yourself as well as others)
• Commit to, and raise further, high achievement and motivation
• Optimise Maths learning for all
Then come and see us. We are looking for potential as much as experience so we welcome applications from ITTs. Here's just a few reasons why you'd be mad not to:
• Our greatest strength is our people and we work hard to make sure you know that. Colleague wellbeing is very important to us and will always remain a high priority
• Our team is our greatest asset. Colleagues at Costello are supportive, respectful and protective of one another. We are a team that put children first and enable one another to provide the best experiences and opportunities for those within our community
• We strive to ensure that our learning environments are safe, supportive and enable learners the ability to learn in a high quality learning environment, with high quality colleagues
• Planning your lessons is crucial and it's always easier when we collaborate - we've put in place hours of co-planning so that you can share best practice and resources and not have to sit at home doing it on your own
• Our recent Ofsted inspection judged us as Good with Outstanding features, and said that 'Leaders, teachers and support staff work together as a tight-knit team to meet these pupils' pastoral and academic needs very well. Good relationships between staff and pupils ensure typically calm, respectful behaviour across the school. Pupils enjoy school and feel happy and proud to be here.'
