Waulud Primary School is a very friendly, welcoming and hardworking school, where the enthusiastic and positive attitude of all staff make it a great place to work. 

It is a two-form entry school with a culture of High Aspirations for all pupils and staff. Our Ofsted inspection in March 2023 graded the school as “good”.

The Inspectors noted that

‘Pupils respond well to the high expectations that staff have of them. They are enthusiastic readers. Most pupils are determined to stretch themselves and read more challenging books. They enjoy the books and stories they read’

‘Leaders have set high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. All pupils and teachers understand these. Teachers use the school systems consistently and fairly. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are respectful and talk kindly to each other’

‘Staff feel well supported. Leaders are approachable and listen to concerns. Staff value the consideration leaders, including governors, give to how initiatives impact on their workload’

Following a recent visit, the IQM (Inclusion Quality Mark) assessor noted:

 ‘You should feel proud of the safe haven you have created at your school and the wonderful dedication and commitment from all staff towards the common goals you are working towards.’

‘The obvious desire of the whole team to offer the children and families a welcoming, supportive, inclusive environment and aspirational opportunities is impressive.’

The successful candidate will join our staff team at an exciting time in the school’s development, as we continue with our ambition and determination to improve outcomes for our pupils.

The school has over 400 pupils and a good reputation for supporting them to develop positive learning behaviours. With strong ties to the local community our dedicated staff team make a difference to every child and have high aspirations for all. Challenging them to aim high and take a real pride in who they are and what they desire to achieve.
