About this employer
Dry Drayton is a small, vibrant and friendly Church of England Primary School, set in rural Cambridgeshire. We are looking for someone to join our strong, supportive and dedicated staff team. Our children are polite and well-behaved and enjoy belonging to our school that has a strong ‘family-fee’ and a commitment to seeing individuals flourish. What is a voluntary controlled school? At Dry Drayton Church of England (C) Primary school, we welcome children and families of all faiths and none. It is a voluntary controlled (C or VC) school because it was originally set up by a voluntary body - the Church of England - and is why we have important links with our church and the Diocese of Ely. Voluntary controlled schools are a type of ‘maintained school’, meaning that they are totally funded by central government via the Local Education Authority. In addition to this, VC Schools have a foundation or trust (the Church of England in our case) which has some formal influence in the running of the school. Our church, St Peter and St Paul, appoints about a quarter of our governors (known as foundation governors). The school governing body controls the use of the school premises, but it has to follow general rules set by the Local Education Authority. The LEA employs the staff and has primary responsibility for the school's admission arrangements. Pupils at VC schools follow the National Curriculum. Recognising its historic foundation, the school aims to preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan level.
