During our most recent Ofsted in June 2024, we retained our ‘Outstanding’ judgement in all areas. Nothing but the absolute best is good enough for our children. We are part of Bold Futures federation which includes Wellington Community Primary School and Marlborough Infants School; this has allowed all schools to share best practice and the capacity to provide exceptional CPD and career opportunities. This role could be placed across the federation for the right candidate and is suitable for ECT’s looking to start their teaching career in an outstanding setting.
