· Have experience of working in KS2

· Have experience of analysing data as a tool for improvement

· Be an excellent communicator with a strong commitment to working in partnership with Parents and the Parish Community

· Be passionately committed to safeguarding and the welfare and wellbeing of children and staff.

We can offer you:
