Are you someone who can sing slightly off‑key with confidence, laugh at jokes that make no sense, count a fast-moving group of small humans in seconds, and remember every child’s favourite dinosaur (including their third favourite)? If so, you may be exactly who we’re looking for.

This is an exciting time for our school as we establish a new all‑year‑round nursery provision, offering the successful candidate a rare opportunity to shape a setting with real and lasting impact for children, families and the wider community.

Why Join Us?

If you are ready to lead with passion, inspire young learners and help build something special, we would love to hear from you.
