Gilmorton Chandler CE Primary School is set within a beautiful village community with good motorway links. We are a caring and inclusive school where children are encouraged to thrive academically, socially and personally within a happy, safe and supportive environment. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, inspirational part-time teacher for a  0.6  KS1 Teacher/1 year fixed contract/ M4

Our Church of England Academy caters for children from 4 to 11 years of age and serves the parishes of Gilmorton, Kimcote Cum Walton, Ashby Magna, Bruntingthorpe, Peatling Parva, Upper Bruntingthorpe and Willoughby Waterleys. We established Inspiring Primaries Academy Trust (IPAT) in June 2017.

We are dedicated professionals committed to providing a happy, safe, well disciplined environment where all children can grow in God’s love and make the most of every learning opportunity offered to them. The emphasis is on excellence, excitement and challenge. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and service to our community. Children are encouraged to become independent, creative learners who also respect and care for others. We believe our school is a place where every child feels special and we hope that every child leaves us feeling they have something unique and special to offer the world in which they grow up

Our Church of England Academy caters for children from 4 to 11 years of age and serves the parishes of Gilmorton, Kimcote Cum Walton, Ashby Magna, Bruntingthorpe, Peatling Parva, Upper Bruntingthorpe and Willoughby Waterleys. 

Our vision, 'Growing Well, Flourishing Together' is at the heart of all that we do and this core principle rests upon a strong foundation of Christian values which we ensure the children in our care know and use in their everyday lives.

Our last Ofsted, in 2024, identified the school as Good, commenting: “Pupils, parents and carers and staff know that they belong to the school family. The school is proud to play an integral part in the wider community, for example by joining in the Angel Festival at the church. The school’s vision of ‘growing well and flourishing together’ is evident in the strong community links within the school. Pupils are known well and seen as individuals. Pupils celebrate difference; for example, one said, ‘Everybody is different. If we were all the same, it would be boring..

"The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these expectations”
