A bit about us:

Stratford-sub-Castle CE VC Primary School is a wonderful place to be not only because we are a village school set in beautiful countryside, close to the historic city of Salisbury, but primarily because of the special people who make up the school’s community and the sense of purpose we all share.

Our school is a place where children feel safe, happy and secure and where individuality is celebrated and strengths are recognised, encouraged and developed. Our dedicated team of staff and governors believe in creating an inclusive, caring ethos, where all children have equal opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential.

• who is committed to inspiring, motivating and developing the whole child through creative and active learning
• who is committed, hardworking and organised

• be willing to embrace, support and develop the Christian ethos of our school.

We can offer you:
• children who are eager to learn, are well behaved, have positive attitudes and who love coming to school
• the opportunity to realise your vision for teaching and learning in an encouraging and creative environment
• opportunities for personal and professional development
