What is the job role?

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School is a place where children, staff, parents, governors and the Parish community work together, determined to create an ethos where we recognise that each child is loved by God, and that by demanding excellence for each child, every pupil is nurtured to meet their full human potential. Every child deserves an outstanding education, with unfailingly high behavioral and academic standards: this is what we are striving to achieve at St Thomas More. We are a two-form entry school with capacity for 420 pupils and a 52-place nursery.
