Descrição da oferta de emprego

Dunton CofE Junior School is a small, friendly village school located around three miles from Biggleswade. We are federated with Wrestlingworth CofE Infant School, and both schools were rated ‘GOOD’ by OFSTED in December 2023.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development, having transitioned to a split-site primary school in September 2024 as part of Central Bedfordshire Council’s Schools for the Future project. Wrestlingworth is now the only infant school in Central Bedfordshire, providing for children from Reception to Year 2. Pupils then move on to Dunton Junior School for Years 3 to 6.

With many positive and exciting changes ahead, we are seeking a committed and enthusiastic team to support us on this journey. As the only junior school in Central Bedfordshire, Dunton offers a distinctive and rewarding environment.

We also have a new Headteacher with a strong vision for our schools future, with a focus to increase sports, STEM and our Forest school provision.

• Interested in participating in new ideas and initiatives.
• Happy to contribute to the wider life of a small school.
• Able to model and promote the vision and values of our church schools

In return we can offer:

• A school that prides itself on the individual attention given to every child.
• A dedicated and supportive staff team passionate about the learning and progress of our children.
• A school full of friendly, enthusiastic learners.
• Smaller class sizes averaging 20 children
• Strong values reflected in the ethos of the Federation.
• Collaborative working and professional development opportunities across the Federation.
• Opportunities to work closely with other schools in the local cluster.
• Parents that support their children's learning and the life of the school.
