Further details about the role

The Russell School is a one-form entry primary school with a warm and caring ethos. We are searching for a passionate and dedicated primary specialist to join our staff team. Following our November 2023 Ofsted inspection, we are delighted to share that we remain a good school, with outstanding personal development. As noted in our inspection, our wonderful children have many opportunities to support the whole community and become 'good citizens.' The fantastic music education our children receive is something we are very proud of.

This is a full time position, however, for the right person we are willing to explore part time working hours.

Commitment to safeguarding

The Russell School is wholly committed to safeguarding and to promoting the welfare of all children; we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS and Barred List checks will therefore be required. References will be requested prior to interview. An online search will also be carried out as part of our selection process.
