Information about the school

Feering Primary is a small village church school, which forms part of All Saints Academy Trust. The Trust currently consists of a partnership between two church schools with a particular focus on school improvement and development. The school was judged to be Good at the last inspection.

Both staff groups work closely together and this adds an element of support not often able to be provided within small schools. We are looking for a friendly, adaptable addition to our team who relishes the ability to make a difference for children and their families by ensuring our service to them is the best it can be.

Despite this being the holiday period we are available for pre arranged tours by either the Executive Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher before the interview date. Please email Mrs Gough on the following email address head@st-andrewscofe.com

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
