What the school offers its staff
The Governors of this forward-thinking school are looking to appoint a highly motivated teacher to work in our Nursery. The opportunity to work in a Maintained Nursery is pretty rare in Cheshire East. Our Nursery is fully part of the school and staff are employed by the school. Our Nursery has a very good reputation and is a great starting point for many of our children who then join our school. Prestbury Church of England Primary is a popular school in the heart of East Cheshire. The successful candidate will be joining a hardworking and dedicated team.
Our school vision statement ‘Let your light shine’ is at the heart of all areas of our school. The successful candidate would be determined to develop young children as valued contributors to a more caring and sharing society and have the very highest expectations of all pupils, both behaviourally and academically.
Our school received a Good Ofsted rating in 2020 with an outstanding grade for Personal Development and we are looking for a teacher with commitment and enthusiasm to join our team to maintain and build on the high standards already in place.
We want to welcome the right person into our caring and mutually supportive team. As a Church School, we would welcome applications from practising Christians and those who would show commitment to supporting the school as a faith community.
