About the employer

Our Church of England Primary school is set in the middle of the village of Shepherdswell. In 2012 Sibertswold federated with Eythorne-Elvington school and although we are separate we share one governing body and work closely together. We are a one-form entry, rural school of 200 pupils and seven mixed-ability classes; however, we still manage to create a family atmosphere where our oldest pupils are very supportive of our younger children. We are fortunate to have a vibrant energetic staff team who support each other fully, sharing ideas and best practice. We have a large playing field, a spacious hall, well-equipped ICT suite; recently all classrooms have been installed with the latest interactive whiteboards. We are a fully extended school with a thriving Breakfast Club and Afternoon Club; we also run Holiday Clubs throughout the year; aiming to provide support for our parents. We works closely with the village community; our hall is used regularly for the Shepherds well Singers and in the winter months we hold monthly Saturday afternoon film shows for the benefit of the village
