Our Ofsted inspection in September 2022, stated that, 'this is a great place to learn. Leaders have high aspirations and hope for pupils to achieve all they are capable of. They also care deeply about the well-being of every child.' If you think you have all the skills above, we will welcome you as part of our team. We would encourage a visit to the school, please phone or email to arrange this or to have an informal discussion with the Headteacher. Contact Fiona Adams, Business Manager: , for an application form, person specification and job description. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children and therefore each post is subject to a DBS (Disclosure and Barring service) check. This post is covered by the Childcare Disqualification Regulations 2018. The school will need to ensure that they are not knowingly employing a person who is disqualified under the 2018 Regulations in connection with relevant childcare provision. Accordingly, the successful candidate will be required to demonstrate to the school, by completing a self-declaration form as part of the pre-employment checks process, that they have not been disqualified under the 2018 Regulations. If the preferred candidate is found to be disqualified under the 2018 Regulations, the offer of employment will be subject to the application by the preferred candidate to Ofsted for a waiver and the receipt of a waiver from Ofsted.
