Employer Description:
Welcome to Dry Drayton C of E (C) Primary School. We are a vibrant and happy rural primary school based in a little village just outside Cambridge. Class sizes are small, providing a caring and focused learning environment which meets the individual needs of each and every one of our pupils. Our staff are a dedicated, creative and supportive team. Being at the heart of our village community, we pride ourselves on working collaboratively and in close partnership with parents and carers, governors, neighbouring schools and local people. We have strong ties with our church, St Peter and St Paul, which supports us in nurturing our children through sound Christian values of kindness towards others, respect and acceptance that we are all unique. We are inclusive and provide education for children of all faiths and none. Every day in school, we engage and inspire our children. Through creative teaching, we ignite a lifelong love of learning and equip our pupils with the skills they require to be self-motivated, independent learners who are happy, confident and eager to learn. Our learning environment is one in which every pupil is valued, supported and challenged through high quality teaching. We are fortunate to be able to offer facilities that inspire and stimulate, with our pupils benefitting from our wonderful, extensive outdoor space including Forest School, a modern library and spacious, well-resourced classrooms. Through the provision of a wealth of different opportunities in sport, music, outdoor learning, themed days and visitors in school, we hope that each child will grow in knowledge, skills, wisdom, inquisitiveness and confidence so that they may leave us with a toolkit to support their learning in life. Opportunities for pupil leadership in upper key stage 2 will help to create self-assured children who feel prepared to accept challenges they meet in the future. We look forward to welcoming you to our school community. Sonia Hegan, Headteacher
