Everyone who works at Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery School understands the importance of meeting individual needs. For someone working as a teacher this means that they understand what each child needs to be able to flourish in their primary education, and then they do what is required to help the child make progress. Whilst this can sometimes be challenging, it is also rewarding and because we work in education, we are always seeking to learn and improve our practice. If this sounds like the sort of place that you would like to work, please read on.

Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery School is a successful and popular school in Thorpe St Andrew, to the East of Norwich. We have a proud record of sporting achievement and prioritise the role of performance and music as vehicles for developing the talents of all of our children and staff.  We have high expectations for everyone in our school, making use of staff skills and experience, resources, technology and our extensive school site to fulfil our vision to enable children to be ‘the best they can be’. We are passionate about our curriculum being inclusive for all. To help us achieve this ambition, all staff are expected to be fully involved in the wider life of the school.

As part of the Broad Horizons Education Trust, we benefit directly from the support on offer from the Central Team as well as the knowledge, experience and talents of the other 17 schools in our Trust. Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery is a school that seeks to be a giver and receiver of support to help all children to flourish in their primary education and beyond. If you would like to contribute towards this goal, then please apply.
