What makes us so special?

The school has a lovely, warm, family feeling and the children are polite, kind and caring. Every child is known as an individual, feels part of the school family and is always keen and eager to learn. Visitors constantly comment on our welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We may be small but we are a dynamic, vibrant and forward-thinking school. 

Our staff are a brilliant team who not only care about each other and work well together but also strive to give the children their very best. 

We have a superb semi-rural location on the edge of Newbury with excellent access to major transport links.

The children, staff, parents and governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, caring, positive and committed teacher who will: 

• be an excellent teacher with a good knowledge of the curriculum 
• foster a sense of excitement about learning within a creative curriculum 
• have the vision and commitment to help the children achieve their aspirations 
• join us on our journey towards excellence 
• uphold and promote the ethos and character of the school
