After School Playleader

I am delighted that you are interested in joining the team here at The Hayes Primary School as a Wrap Around Care Play Leader for After School Club. I hope this pack will be of interest to you and look forward to receiving your completed application.

The Hayes is a happy, fun and dynamic primary school with high expectations of its pupils. We are a larger than average-sized school with a capacity of 420 pupils situated in Kenley with a large school field, large hall, ICT suite and swimming pool. We have a strong tradition in sport and the arts. 

Our vision is: ‘Be the best we can be’ - and this is what we ask of our children and staff.  All who work at our wonderful school are passionate about improving the life chances of pupils and their families and love making learning fun. For our children, an excellent education will make a defining difference in their lives- it is essential that we recruit staff who share this commitment and passion. 

In January 2018, we had a GOOD Ofsted inspection, where Sir Robin Bosher in his report cited:
*Vision and Values: ‘staff, parents and governors stated that your values have been influential in establishing a new direction and are appreciative that they are having a positive impact at home’.
*Our Pupils: ‘pupils work hard with positive attitudes. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is very good. Pupils respect each other and collaborate well, they are kind and caring towards adults, visitors and each other, they take care with the presentation of their work and are proud of their progress. Pupils talk enthusiastically about their learning and are well motivated to do their best’.
*Curriculum: ‘makes learning interesting, ensuring key skills are taught well. It provides pupils with a diverse education which broadens their minds and helps them to think critically about the world’.
*Leadership: ‘you have brought about improvements that have rapidly made a positive impact by improving the quality of teaching and pupils’ progress and outcomes. The governing body are fully committed to improving the school and work effectively with you. Parents are overwhelmingly positive and particularly cite the ‘inspirational Head Teacher’.
*Safeguarding is effective: ‘you rightly place a high priority on keeping pupils safe and this is permeating across your school community and creating a culture where everyone puts pupils’ safety first’.
