Our beautiful building and fantastic facilities make us a special place for children to learn and flourish. We are a very popular school in the heart of a new community and have a dedicated staff team who are committed to our vision of ‘Learn, Love and Live Life in all its Fullness’. Our school has a strong culture of aspiration for all where children are inspired and challenged to be the best that they can be. Our Christian ethos supports children’s moral, social and spiritual development and challenges and inspires our children to develop their potential and a strong moral character.

If you would like to arrange a visit to the school or have a confidential conversation with The Headteacher, Claire Doland, about the role, prior to application, then please email office@windrushschool.org or telephone 01993 651391.

Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.

OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.

OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.

OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.

Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive  continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
