Our school motto translates to ‘Character and Kindness’, which is at the heart of all we do.
At OVS we facilitate learning in combined year group classes and you will be teaching a group of 18 children, half in Year 1 and half in Year 2. There is a partner teacher with a similar class who you will work closely with.

We are seeking a well-qualified and enthusiastic person, who has a clear understanding of planning and evaluating as appropriate, a curriculum which raises achievement for all children, up to date knowledge of effective practice and the primary curriculum and the need for good record keeping and assessment.
At this time, we are unable to facilitate visits to the school, but we can arrange a telephone meeting with a member of SLT prior to application so we can share all we have to offer.

ISI report
“Pupils of all ages listen with interest in lessons and are never reluctant to express their views when asked. They are able to make logical deductions and think for themselves, as they use information and communication technology (ICT) such as tablets and touch screens with confidence. Pupils are consistently very successful in gaining places at their first choice of senior school, with significant numbers being awarded scholarships”.
