Claycots School Partnership is the largest primary school (TES June 2015) in the country, thus offering an exceptional opportunity for a values driven, articulate and driven leading teacher to shape and drive an ambitious and successful team of key stage 2 teachers to move onwards and upwards towards their shared next step of ‘Outstanding’.

The objectives for this post:
