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 and we are a school with rising results and a rising roll.
Both staff groups work extremely 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.
We encourage tours of the school site and would love to introduce prospective candidates to our friendly and supportive team.
