At Moor End Community Primary School, we are proud to be a successful, supportive, and inclusive learning community. We celebrate diversity and believe that every child deserves an environment where they feel valued, inspired, and empowered to succeed. Our dedicated staff, engaged pupils, and supportive leadership team make our school a fantastic place to teach, learn, and grow. This position is not appropriate for an ECT.

Being a relatively new Headteacher, I have only just come out of the classroom and understand the workload and pressures put on teaching staff, which is why I am passionate about wellbeing and workload for my staff. Every decision taken has workload implications at its heart.




Workload reduction strategies:





• No expectation of written marking- whole class feedback books


• Topics planned together to utilise each other’s strengths


• No planning scrutinies


• PPA can be taken either at school or at home


• Laptops provided to enable flexible working patterns


• No requirement to answer emails outside of reasonable work hours


• Subject leader release time


• Streamline reports


• And many more!





Please state your curriculum strengths, as we would like you to take on the role of subject leader with confidence.




With it being such a short turnaround, visits to the school are encouraged but if you are unable to visit, please give our Headteacher, Philip Sumner a ring on 01254 233312 to have an informal chat or to come and visit to find out what makes Moor End a special place to work.




Shortlisted candidates will be observed teaching. Depending on your current role, this could either be in your current setting or at Moor End.
