The school is an architecturally acclaimed purpose built primary school which opened in 2008. There are currently 429 pupils on roll, including the Pugwash Nursery.

We invite you to become a part of: • A team of enthusiastic teachers and support staff, with supportive parents and a Governing Body who are committed to continuous school improvement. • A school where every child really does matter. • A nurturing environment in which children enjoy school, are keen to learn and are eager to take part in activities which promote outstanding learning.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System. From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. The Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain an enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).
