Staveley CE Primary School is a small village school with 85 on roll. We are incredibly lucky to have a school with such extensive grounds and we strive to make the most of them. We really value the sense of community that has been built up between the school and the church and other community groups in the village.

The successful candidate will be required to undertake pre-employment checks, which will include a satisfactory enhanced DBS check (to include a children’s barred list check), references, Right to Work in the UK and a work place health assessment.
