Here at Southglade Primary we aim to provide a happy, safe, secure and caring environment. We work hard to provide a curriculum that encourages all to reach their full potential. Staff and children alike value and respect all members of the school community. We always recognise and celebrate achievement and diversity, and we are committed to develop quality in everything we do. Southglade Primary School is the first school in Nottingham City to adopt the Fair Workload Charter.

If you see a job advert with the Fair Workload Logo, that School has signed up to the Charter. This means that you can expect: a fair and reasonable workload high-quality training and professional development opportunities that meet the needs of individual members of staff a pay and rewards package at least that of the national agreement for teachers, and the Local Authority pay scale for support staff. The Fair Workload Charter sets out what teachers and other staff can expect from the schools that sign up to participate. This includes adopting schemes such as the ‘five-minute lesson plan’ model and the marking policy clarifying what will and won’t be marked. Schools should also ensure teachers get access to Continuous Professional Development and that Teaching Assistants are supported to progress to Qualified Teacher Status where they choose to do so.
