Dear Applicant, thank you for your interest in the post of class teacher at The Redeemer Church of England Primary School.

The Redeemer C.E. Primary School is a very popular two-form entry school built in 2006, with 420 children on roll. We believe our collaboration with St. Stephens, a small rural school which caters for a maximum of 70 pupils and is 10 minutes’ drive away, strengthens both schools.

We have an amazingly talented, hard-working and dedicated staff-team who often go above and beyond to serve our pupils needs. Our children are a joy! Over their time at school, we love how they grow in confidence to live out our Christian values of friendship, love, compassion, forgiveness, wisdom, thankfulness, and hope. We are at the centre of a very strong community and parish which includes parents, carers, grandparents and our church community – most clearly represented at our Friday morning collective worship where all are invited to attend.
