Job Introduction
Do you have a passion for continuous provision in EYFS and Key Stage One?
We are looking for a fabulous teacher to join our team here at Ropley!
Our vision is for every child to flourish both academically and personally. With so many exceptional independent schools across Hampshire, we strive to ensure our pupils get the same chances in life as in the private sector. We are a small school yet one with huge ambitions.
We are proud to maintain smaller class sizes compared to other state schools; this allows us to produce excellent academic results with the support of our highly-skilled teaching team. Despite the school being over-subscribed, our unique PAN (Pupil Admission Number) is only 25 per class. Children are taught in individual year groups and there are no mixed-age classes. More importantly, it enables us to stretch and support each pupil as an individual. By enabling our pupils to make considerable academic progress, it helps them to recognise how determination and perseverance are vital attributes in life; this helps to instil confidence as they move onto the next stage of their education.
Whilst the school's focus is on ensuring children flourish academically, we are proud of how we promote and encourage children to be well-rounded individuals in an ever-changing world. Our Christian values help to develop children's courage, confidence and resilience. Children are actively encouraged to appreciate and love God's world, and to reflect on how they can make lives better for others. As pupils leave Ropley CE Primary, they leave with a deeper understanding of how love, community and courage can support them in life.
We are proud to offer our pupils an equivalent offering to that of the independent sector. After all, why should money determine the quality of one's education?
Please take a look around our website where you will find more information about our school which I hope you will find helpful. If you would like to come and meet us, this would be strongly recommended. Please contact the school office to make an appointment.
