The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and responsibility. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
All staff working in the School during the school day will have contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

About Penkridge Middle School
Being part of the ‘Penk Valley Academy Trust’ of schools since 2018, we take pupils from the four local First Schools as well as other pupils from out of catchment at the start of year 5 and also into year 7, with our pupils feeding into Wolgarston High School or The Rural Enterprise Academy (TREA).
The leadership team consists of the Headteacher, Mr Grocutt, Deputy Headteacher, Mr Cole and Assistant Headteacher Mr Meredith, Mrs Griffiths, the school's Office Manager, also provides assistance, along with the curriculum leads.
The children benefit from subject-specialist facilities and a mixture of primary and secondary specialist teachers. They are also supported by their ‘Class Teacher’ who they spend time with at the start and end of each day to help develop a number of key skills linked to their own personal development.
Diversity and inclusion are both promoted and celebrated at our school, and our vision is underpinned by British values. Safeguarding is at the heart of what we do, not only for our children but for the whole school community.
Teaching and learning, is supported by Visible Learning and the development of Oracy skills for all. We also promote success through our broad and balanced curriculum, which includes many extra-curricular clubs, school trips, and themed days.
Our most recent Ofsted report (June 2022) said that "the school is ambitious for every pupil. Expectations are high. Pupils understand and respond well to these expectations. They behave well around the school and work hard in lessons'. But don’t believe this; please come and see us.
