Queen Boudica Primary School is a thriving and successful two-form entry primary school situated on the north side of Colchester. We offer modern, well-resourced learning environments and our pupils are well mannered, dynamic and motivated to learn.

We are delighted that our most recent Ofsted inspection (March 2023) confirmed our good provision and recognised that 'pupils love coming to school. Pupils feel safe and thrive in this welcoming and nurturing school. Teachers say they are able to manage their workload well. Behaviour is exemplary and bullying is exceptionally rare.'

Our staff are kind, hardworking and committed: they plan together and support each other in year group and phase teams. We also have a superb team of support staff who run a range of interventions as well as providing general classroom support. We are connected to local English and Maths hub groups as well as having participated in the Open University's Reading for Pleasure platform, and aim to provide an excellent education for our pupils whilst maintaining a calm and caring atmosphere in which to learn. We place great value on kindness and compassion, and treat all our children and their families accordingly.

Governors are seeking to appoint a positive and successful practitioner whose enthusiasm will pervade across all aspects of their practice. We hope that you will have a passion for teaching and learning, and possess the skills and ability to make a positive difference to our pupils and their families. A child-centred approach and the ability to empathise with pupils' emotional needs are essential. We greatly value the diversity of our school community, and want our children to have every opportunity to flourish as confident, successful learners, meeting our whole school ambition of 'Every Child a Reader.'

Visits to the school are strongly encouraged. We're very proud of our school and would love to show you around. Please contact the school office to make an appointment on (01206) 844654.

Queen Boudica School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all of its staff to share this commitment.
