Job Summary
St Mary’s Church of England Primary School is offering an excellent opportunity to join the KS2 team due to increased pupil numbers and changes in staff circumstances.

This role provides the chance to work in a compassionate, creative, and inclusive environment that values teamwork, wellbeing, and professional growth.
Professional Development and Support
As part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST), the school offers outstanding professional development opportunities. Teachers plan collaboratively, sharing workload and joint PPA sessions whenever possible.
The leadership team prioritises wellbeing, ensuring a supportive, fun, and caring work culture alongside the commitment to achieving excellent outcomes for pupils.
Teaching Philosophy and Curriculum
Guided by the vision to “Learn, Transform and Grow,” the curriculum at St Mary’s focuses on language, reading, and mathematical development. Foundation subjects are taught creatively, enhanced by educational and cultural visits, events, and hands-on learning experiences that inspire students and connect them with their community.
Specialist provision in sports and music is further enriched through Commando Joe’s character education, and the school proudly holds two OPAL Platinum Awards for play — recognising outstanding, engaging playtimes.
St Mary’s also runs successful breakfast and after-school clubs, providing support for families and additional enrichment opportunities for children.
Collaboration and Partnership
St Mary’s works closely with its sister school, Wroxton Primary School, in an Executive Partnership. This collaboration offers exciting opportunities for professional networking, skill development, and the sharing of best practices between an urban and rural school setting.
The position is supported by a dedicated leadership team, active local governors, and ODST, making it ideal for ambitious and enthusiastic teachers looking to make a lasting difference in children’s lives.
