Kidmore End is a happy, learning‑filled primary school, where every individual is valued and can flourish. We strive to provide a learning environment where every child is supported and challenged to enable them to take their next steps in education and beyond confidently and independently. We see our role as a school to not only develop children academically, but to help them grow as kind, caring citizens who are equipped with the resilience needed for life’s successes and challenges.

One role will predominantly be based in the reception class and the other role will be further up the school. Experience working with pupils within an Early Years setting and/or pupils with SEND would be desirable.

• A dedicated, supportive staff team, both teaching and non‑Teaching
• Children who enjoy learning and are positive about their school
• Wonderful environment with facilities to support learning inside and out
• Commitment to further school improvement to ensure the best start for our children
• Opportunities for professional development at every stage of your career
