The philosophy of Godolphin Primary School is to provide a firm foundation on which all aspects of education will be built. It is our belief that education is an exciting journey towards spiritual, moral, social, cultural, physical, and mental development and thus the well-being of the individual.  

We believe in equal opportunities for all the children in our school, irrespective of social background, culture, race, gender or ability. In order to ensure future progress and success, we aim to provide a curriculum that is broad and balanced.  

We firmly believe that we provide a learning environment that is safe, secure, structured, motivating, exciting, caring, but above all happy, that enables all children to develop a sense of high self-esteem in order to meet the challenge of not only attaining high academic achievement but also of pursuing high personal aspirations in all they do.  

To achieve a positive learning environment, we will insist on appropriate behaviour both in and out of the classroom, and indeed in and out of school. Our school vision is ‘living, learning and laughing together’ which drives our desire that school is a content, continuing and collaborative learning environment for all.  

We are seeking to appoint a person who is enthusiastic, hardworking and committed to the ethos of our Schools.  The role is to support the delivery of provision as set out in the children’s Individual Education Plans and Educational Health Care Plans. As a trust we are committed to improving the lives of young people every day through a relentless focus on learning and personal development. We know that we can only do that if we have the very best teachers working within our team, this is your chance to be part of that growing body of exceptional teachers.  

Our Trust is committed to working collaboratively providing ongoing CPD and career opportunities to enable you to make a difference to the benefit of pupils and the local community.
