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)
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.
Who are you?
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.
Who are we?
St Mary and St Peter’s Church School and Shepton Beauchamp Church School works in partnership within our BWMAT Trust. We are currently developing this exciting partnership with two further small local schools, Norton Sub Hamdon and West Chinnock. Our SENDCo currently works in our EYFS/KS1 Class. This post, which is temporary in the first instance, has been created to release our SENDCo to provide three days SEND support across our 4 schools.
We believe we offer a uniquely caring, close-knit team that supports each other all day, every day and this is reflected by how our children interact with each other.
Applications for posts working with children, can only be made via our standard application form.
Our closing date is midnight Tuesday 16th December 2025 and interviews will take place on Thursday 18th December 2025. (Mince pies will be provided for interview day!)
