We are also working with the Department of Education to build a new, state-of-the-art school building on Stortford Road, Great Dunmow, which is set to open to the primary phase in 2025 and the secondary and sixth form phase in 2026.
We are looking for someone who:
- is an excellent primary practitioner
- has high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour
- has excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills
- is committed to working in partnership with our parents and the local community
- has a good sense of humour
