Do you want to work in a school that aims to develop confident, ambitious pupils who believe anything is possible? At Penns Primary, we want our children to leave ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone - in the classroom, the workplace, and in life. That sense of ambition runs through everything we do, from our dedicated staff to our supportive families. If you share our drive to nurture resilient, respectful learners who are prepared for their next steps, we would love you to join our team.

Why not become a Pennsonian?...

where we are committed to meeting the needs of every child and their academic, social and emotional development. We firmly believe the education of every child is best achieved through close partnership with parents and carers. We believe in creating and sustaining a positive and uplifting culture for all of our children and we also do this for each other as well.  We have high expectations of our children and they reward us by giving their best. We strive to create an environment within which our children are nurtured and challenged, feel respected and listened to so that every Penns child develops a love of learning and wants to achieve their very best. Parents tell us they value our strong ethos of care and support for one another. We support our families in ensuring that they too, can provide the right environment for our children to learn effectively and to grow securely both emotionally and mentally.  We have a highly motivated, enthusiastic team of staff who always put the children first. 

Our aim is for our children to leave Penns oozing with confidence, with a life long love of learning and a healthy respect for themselves and others, ready and prepared for their next steps in learning and life.  We go above and beyond to ensure that everybody within our school community feels respected, challenged, supported and safe. We don't always get it right, but we will try our utmost to ensure that, 'If we get it wrong we'll get it right next time'.

The staff and I look forward to welcoming you to Penns where we hope a strong partnership will develop as together we meet the needs of your child in their primary years where we are all: SMART: Safe, Mindful, Accepting, Resilient and Together.
