Widcombe C of E Junior School
We are proud of our Church School status and our children follow our core Christian Values of Friendship, Kindness, Perseverance, Respect, Honesty and Hope to become better in everything they do and to ‘Be the best they can be’. This vision is underpinned by Pentecost (Acts 2:1-31). This story inspires us to fill ourselves with the fire we need to go out into the world and be our best selves.
We design and deliver a creative, engaging curriculum with exciting learning opportunities which build on the children’s interests and stimulate and deepen their understanding. We have a commitment to developing each child as an individual and intend to prepare our children so that when they leave us, they have a lifelong love of learning and take our School Values into the wider world.
Our school has a wide range of strengths including a strong Arts tradition. We have a real enthusiasm for celebrating individuality and encourage children to showcase their skills and share their interests. We have a firm commitment to providing a high-quality learning experience and while our children achieve academic success, more importantly, they leave us confident, resilient and ready for the challenges ahead of them.
We would welcome applications from teachers who are supportive of the aims, values, vision and ethos of our school and who have a proven ability as an excellent practitioner.
We are proud to offer:
- A church school with a distinctive Christian ethos
- A school that values life beyond the curriculum and provides broad and enriching opportunities for all
- A talented team of staff who love working at our school and support and care for each other
- A forward-thinking, proactive approach to teaching and learning
- Strong support and opportunities for Professional Development across the Trust
- Enthusiastic and motivated learners
- A welcoming and inclusive wider community
