Kingfisher Community Primary School

We are a one form entry school (EY- Year 6), providing for our local community.
We are part of Griffin School's Trust and we use our three pillars of High Achievement, Proud Traditions and Wide Horizons to support everything we do.
We are a close, family school and we pride ourselves on the relationships that we have with our families. We know every child as an individual and they are are the heart of our provision.
Our children are delightful and they demonstrate our school values everyday. We have high expectations of all of our children.
We offer a wide range of daily after school clubs that are free to all our children.
We have a high level of pupil premium and our primary SEND need is speech and language.
We have a small staff team and are invested in people. We provided bespoke training, coaching and support for our staff team and we encourage them to further their careers in the best way for them. We are a supportive and nurturing team and would welcome to share our Kingfisher approach.

About our school experience

Details
Candidates are welcome to come and experience our Kingfisher approach. Lesson observations can be conducted in all year groups. We can signpost candidates to specific teachers depending on requirement. Our children are friendly and would enjoy discussing their learning with visitors. Candidates could also work with our children again depending on requirements and that they have a full DBS. We teach a broad and balanced curriculum and candidates are welcome to observe and see our curriculum plans.
Start and finish times
8:15 to 3:30 - Flexible

It would be beneficial for candidates to be in school before the children arrive but we can look at a case by case basis depending on requirements.
