About this Role

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic EYFS class teacher, who would like to join our team and our fantastic children on their learning journey.

A school was first established in the village of Horton Kirby in 1857 and the present school, which combined the village schools of Horton Kirby and South Darenth, was opened by the Bishop of Tonbridge in 1970. The building consists of eleven classrooms. Adjacent to these are libraries, resource and play areas. The school hall is used for dining, assemblies, gymnastics and games. The roll is currently 220 organised into 9 classes.

The school has developed close links with the community and the Church. Parents are always welcomed into the school and many work alongside the professional staff supporting reading, maths skills, computing, cooking, etc.

We aim to provide a caring and stimulating atmosphere at the school alongside high expectations of behaviour for both staff and children. To this end staff work co-operatively and professionally together to provide for our pupils. As of May 2023, the school has been graded GOOD in all areas other than Early Years in which we received an OUTSTANDING grading by OFSTED.
