Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of young learners? If so we would like to invite you to join our small but forward thinking Primary school team.

Nestled at the heart of our village, our school offers a rewarding role for someone looking to become a key part of a small, friendly community. This job provides the opportunity to help our children flourish in a supportive environment where every face is known and every contribution is truly valued.

Your ability to form positive relationships will be crucial in creating a supportive learning environment.

West Tytherley is one of two village schools which make up the Federation of Broughton and West Tytherley. Under the Federation, each school remains separate but works together under a single Governing Body and an Executive Head Teacher - Mrs. Macey. Each school retains its unique character, and both Broughton and West Tytherley pride themselves on their caring, small-school approach where children are known and valued as individuals. The federation provides a friendly and progressive environment to work in and we offer an excellent induction and professional development opportunities beyond those available to individual village schools. We provide an effective and supportive program of CPD which is adapted to meet the current needs of the staff.
