In the first instance, due to maternity leave, we require a  part-time Year 1 teacher to share class responsibilities with our teaching SENDCo (Mondays and Tuesdays). There is an further opportunity to provide release time for our EYFS teacher & Assistant Headteacher on Wednesdays. This reflects our current model.

Wingrave is a one-form-entry, rural combined school for 4 to 11 year olds;  we currently have 206  children on roll from our immediate catchment and beyond. Growth mind-set and well-being are a fundamental part of our welcoming church-school community as we know how vital this is to nurturing life-long learners. Just as we commit to developing our children, staff are supported and encouraged through collaborative practise and continual professional development.

Beyond the class teacher responsibilities of planning for, teaching and assessing the children, we encourage our staff to collaborate and reflect on their practise to make our children’s experiences as engaging and challenging as possible, taking into account a range of learning abilities and styles. There are opportunities to become involved in the wider life of the school through events and activities - we are always open to new ideas that will enrich our provision.

We are looking for candidates who will be invested in the children and will demonstrate that they are reliable, caring and hard working. A sense of humour is essential for our lively, sociable and energetic team. Sound organisation and communication skills are vital for the intense nature of school life and flexibility is a must to deal with the day to day changes and needs of the children. A passion for learning is crucial as we lead by example.

Visits are both welcome and encouraged  and can be arranged by calling the school office on 01296 681 436 and/or emailing office@wingrave.school.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Any offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory DBS enhanced disclosure and references.
