We understand the importance of fostering the knowledge and skills that are necessary as the foundations for their future education.

This goal extends towards our staff too.

We support staff with CPD, opportunities and training to ‘be the best they can be.’ Ofsted inspectors reported that ‘there is a calm yet excited feel around the school and the relationships between pupils and staff are highly respectful.’

Oundle is ‘particularly ambitious for those who are disadvantaged including those with special educational need and/or disability’ (Ofsted 2023) and therefore we expect the successful candidate to share in this motivation.
