What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?

We are seeking a professional who has experience across EYFS/KS1. A professional totally committed to teamwork, ensuring every child and adult can be the best version of themselves.

As a small school, we often rely on creativity and flexibility of our staff to solve challenges… genuinely, no two days are the same!

If you are seeking a new post that allows you to know your children and families very closely, allowing you to have a substantial impact on a community, we want to hear from you.

If you think you could join us on our journey and genuinely contribute to transforming Teaching and Learning for our community, please do come and visit us for a school tour and exploration of our ambitions with Kirsty Luffman, our Head of School. To arrange a visit please contact Kirsty via kirsty.luffman@threesaints.bwmat.org

What is in it for me?

Our School is a unique small school with a superb staff who support each other in everything. OFSTED recognised our school as “Good” in all areas in 2024/25. We are so proud that HMI recognised that  “Pupils know that reading is the key to success. As soon as children start in Reception Year, there is a strong focus on developing communication and language skills. This supports children’s speech and vocabulary. Children learn phonics from day one.”

 All of our curriculum is carefully planned and sequenced and you will be joining a fun and established teaching team.

We have developed an exciting curriculum offer for our children. Our curriculum is well resourced and we have a number of online planning and assessment tools to support workload. We have invested in these resources to enable our teachers to concentrate on being the best versions of themselves in the classroom.

(Please do have a look at our curriculum outline on our website https://stmaryandstpeters.co.uk/curriculum/ )

Our school finances are well managed and we have been able to invest in two members of support staff for our EYFS/KS1 Class to support learning.

We are fortunate to have the ongoing support and backing of the Bath and Wells MAT to assist us in making our high aspirations a reality and we have access to excellent CPD opportunities for staff.
