The Governors are seeking to appoint a committed and highly motivated teacher to start in January 2027.

St Ambrose Barlow Catholic Primary School is a successful, friendly school with a dedicated and enthusiastic staff. We are a one-form entry school for pupils aged 4-11 years and we currently have 208 pupils on role.

• happy, motivated and well-behaved children who enjoy coming to school and who work hard. Our latest Ofsted report (October 2022) states that “Pupils’ behaviour in lessons and around school is excellent…. all pupils try their very best, all the time. They understand difference, and it is clear that everybody in school treats everyone else with respect. Pupils consistently model the school’s values.”
• pupils who say that they can grow up to be anything they want to be. Their resilience, ambition and high expectations shine through
• a strong, enthusiastic and committed staff
• an ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum that focuses on the retention of key knowledge
