This post is term-time.

Little Reddings is a two-form entry primary school with nursery. We serve an ever-diversifying community in Bushey.

We have families attending our school both from the local community and from further afield and draw children from a wide spectrum of social and economic backgrounds including social housing, a traveller site, Forces families and private housing. 

The staff, Governors and children are all extremely friendly and supportive and behaviour within the school is good.  The school offers great opportunities for staff development and is on an exciting journey towards excellence.

In return we can offer:

• A positive, caring ethos
• A dedicated staff team
• A commitment to your professional development
• Supportive governors, parents and community

The position is for 25 hours per week and will be supporting a Year 3 pupil. The post is a temporary contract linked to a specific student whilst they are attending the school.
