Employer Description:

At Chivenor, we believe that the traditions of a school give children the security and sense of belonging that is much needed in our ever changing world. Things that happen every year, every week or every day give a rhythm and pace to a school as children and staff add in their own flavour and twist to the regular events. New traditions will be introduced and with our renewed focus on pupil voice, this will give us a springboard to set an inspiring agenda for our community.

The Chivenor community is aspirational and it is our aim to provide the widest possible range of activities and experiences for children. Being proud to live in Castle Vale, we also highlight the many positive cultural places on offer throughout Birmingham through our classroom names. We serve a global community and our curriculum will reflect that and make learning meaningful.

Appointing and developing outstanding teachers to deliver an outstanding curriculum is our priority. To do this we need to be outward looking and innovative in our approach. Having support and challenge is always a feature of improving schools and we welcome the opportunity to work with a shared vision, whilst maintaining individual characteristics.
