The chance to teach an exciting curriculum (with opportunity for outdoor learning, PE and music covered by specialist teachers and cross-class and cross-school collaboration);
A progressive school environment, where team-work and a shared vision drive school development;
Opportunities within our federation to develop, share and collaborate with other teachers;
A staff charter, showing our commitment to your career, ability to get on with the job and wellbeing, including PPA time available to be taken from home;
Support and CPD through our ITT student teacher offer, and our work with VNET, Educate Norfolk and the Local Authority.
