Commitment to safeguarding

Wychwood CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children. Applicants will be required to undertake pre-employment checks which will include References, Online Searches, Right to Work in the UK and DBS Check.

Why Wychwood?

We are looking to appoint a teacher from September who shares the same passion and commitment to teaching and learning as we do at Wychwood CE Primary School.   

We are a large rural school set in the heart of the beautiful Wychwood community on the edge of the Cotswolds.  Our focus is developing a love of learning and ensuring that our children experience exciting and creative opportunities to learn, explore and have fun. 

We offer a warm and welcoming environment with a dedicated staff team who are supportive of one another. There is a clear vision for school development to improve outcomes for all pupils. Ofsted (October 2024) described Wychwood as having a ‘close and caring ethos in which everyone is welcomed.’ 

Our commitment to a lifelong love of learning extends to our staff as well as our pupils, as described here by Ofsted: ‘Staff are wholeheartedly positive about their work at the school. They feel well-supported by leaders, valuing their training and professional development. The school proactively supports staff well-being and helps them to maintain a healthy work-life balance.’

We can offer:

• a school community that supports excellent teachers

• parents and children who value our school and the teachers within it

• governors and school leaders who are committed to ensuring that teachers have the space to be creative and opportunities to take risks

• excellent facilities and grounds which include a Forest School site, an outdoor swimming pool and astro pitch. 

You will need to be:

• Committed to reflecting on your own teaching and learning practice

• Passionate about inspiring learning

• Dynamic and motivating

• Able to communicate effectively with parents and carers

• A team player

• Willing to play your part by planning and delivering exciting and engaging learning experiences. 

Visits are warmly welcomed. Our Headteacher, Katy Gent, will be happy to show you around.  Please contact the school on 01993 830059
