Letter from the Headteacher
Thank you for showing an interest in our vacancy at Horsenden Primary School. We are a large, multicultural school where we hold limitless aspirations for our pupils and staff. We are keen to recruit inspirational and ambitious staff to join our well-established team. Our school values, represented by the HORSE code (Hardworking, Optimistic, Respectful, Sincere, Empowered) underpin the work we do. Staff and governors strive for continuous improvement to achieve exemplary teaching and learning experiences for all of our pupils, each and every day.
We achieve all of this by investing heavily in developing and valuing all staff. Staff are developed in a range of ways and are provided with a wide variety of opportunities to engage in personalised training, including opportunities for professional reading, discussion and self-reflection. The professional development programme is complimented with a coaching-style feedback model, strong links with other local schools, and opportunities to access externally provided qualifications such as the NPQ’s.
We aim to develop pupils who are confident, ambitious critical thinkers who have the skills to successfully explore their interests while becoming curious about the world around them. Our newly developed experiential curriculum is designed to inspire and challenge our pupils. It is well designed and bespoke to our school, celebrating our pupils and the local community. It is built on an oracy approach where speaking and listening underpins learning. The explicit teaching of new vocabulary combined with talk opportunities support pupils to make links across subjects and to their real life experiences.
Inclusion is at the heart of what we do. All pupils are valued for their differences and staff strive to ensure that every child is challenged to access the curriculum at their level. We are still embedding our approach to using metacognition and SOLO Taxonomy to hold limitless aspirations for all of our pupils. We aim to teach children how their brains work, how they learn best and to take responsibility for their learning and progress, which we believe will set them up for life.
Benefits
- Excellent CPD programme and career development opportunities
- Generous pension scheme
