Are you an experienced class teacher looking to progress in your career and advance quickly into a leadership role?
Glaisdale Primary School
Nestled 9 miles in-land from central Whitby, surrounded by the stunning North York Moors National Park lies Glaisdale Primary School.
We currently have 25 pupils on roll across two classes: Explorers (EYFS/KS1) and Adventurers (KS2).
All our children have regular opportunities to take their learning outdoors, whether this is conducting geographical fieldwork in the village, making observational drawings of Beggar's Bridge, identifying types of trees and plants or taking part in a whole school orienteering challenge.
Staff have high expectations of all pupils and are keen to develop their resilience, independence and communication skills. Staff, pupils, parents and governors have worked together to create a set of oaths, which aim to enhance pupils’ broader development during their time at Glaisdale in order to ensure that all pupils are effectively prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
