‘Love Ourselves, Love Each Other, Love Our World’

Would you like to work in a friendly, family feel school?  A school where everyone is given the opportunity to shine; where love and kindness is celebrated and where everyone's voice is equally important; where a therapeutic approach underpins all our interactions with our children.

New Christ Church is a small Church of England primary school with 200 children, based on the edge of the centre of Reading. We encourage you to come and visit and see what a warm and welcoming school we are!

We can offer you:

-          Children who will make your heart soar as they grow and learn

-          Staff who group together and support one another through thick and thin

-          Staff who ‘… are proud to be part of the team and clearly enjoy working at this school. Staff value that leaders are considerate of their workload and well-being..’ (OFSTED Sept 2022)

-          A commitment to professional development and a belief in driving improvement

-          A staff well-being package.

-          A car park on site

Our OFSTED report (where we were judged Good in all areas) said: ‘New Christ Church is an inclusive school community. Pupils are proud to come to school and learn alongside their friends. Staff have prioritised building trusting relationships. They know all pupils well and make sure their needs are met. This helps pupils feel content, cared for and safe..’

Joining our school family means you’ll need to:

-          Have experience of working with children with behavioural needs

-          Be flexible and adaptable and like working with a wide range of ages

-          Be organised and a good communicator

-          Have a good sense of humour

Do you have the skill, experience and vision that we are looking for?
