Hester’s Way Primary School are looking to appoint a passionate and dedicated teacher, who aligns with our values of ‘positivity, perseverance and pride’.

We want all of these amazing experiences to continue for our pupils. Our children love and learn so much in weekly Forest School sessions led by The Forest School Learning Initiative.
Outdoor equipment and areas have been improved with trim trails, writing and maths shed, climbing areas, scooters, bikes, PE equipment and playtime resources such as science and gardening kits. Ideally, we are looking for a Sports Lead who would relish the opportunity to continue this fantastic work, as well as develop further links and opportunities.
