We know that the job of educating children is sometimes challenging so we invest in staff training and development so that we all feel well supported to do our job so we can enjoy the rewards we all get from seeing young people thrive. We promote a policy of open classroom and office doors because we know that this helps staff grow and develop. There is great power in learning from each other.

The specific details of this job role are described in the job description and the requirements we need from you are listed in the person specification. In your application you should show how you meet the person specification and outline how you would contribute to the Stantonbury team.

We welcome informal pre application visits - there is nothing better than seeing the school in action. If you can't make a visit then a phone conversation is a great alternative.
