Dear Prospective Applicant,

 

Fawcett School is a city Primary School with a village feel. It has a very positive ethos with a network of support systems. This is a recognised strength of our school. Our parents, pupils and staff work in collaboration for the benefit of the whole school community.

 

Currently we have approximately 180 children on role. We have a part time nursery with a Lottery Funded afternoon session to enable our youngest pupils to stay with us all day. We have a breakfast club and an after- school club. We are effectively open from 8a.m.-5.30p.m. and provide wrap-around care for our pupils and their parents.

 

Our pupils are generally very well behaved. They follow our agreed rules and demonstrate high levels of care and consideration for each other and those pupils from Granta Special School that share our building, our playtimes, assemblies and some of our lessons. This is a collaborative inclusion project between the two schools.

 

Fawcett School is at a very exciting stage of its development. As a result of the Southern Fringe Development we are due to more than double in size and become a two form entry school. We will be undertaking a refurbishment and new building programme within the next few years and we are enthusiastic about the prospects of shaping the future of education for all pupils in Trumpington. In the near future we anticipate that we will be working in partnership with another primary school and a secondary school built next to our site.

 

Currently we are embracing the opportunities to develop an exciting and creative primary curriculum. Our current staff are enthusiastic about our work to date and have enjoyed the initial work we have done on following a thematic approach to learning. We are currently working hard to develop a learning environment that will enable us to achieve the highest standards in all that we do.

 

We have an excellent staff team and we are looking for people to join us who have the enthusiasm and drive to help us inspire our pupils and enable them to embrace the opportunities that the very best primary experience can give. .

 

If you are interested in joining us at this exciting point in our development and feel that you share our vision for education we would welcome your application on the form attached/enclosed.

 

Visits can be arranged with our office staff by calling 01223 840258

 

Yours faithfully,

Judith Osler

Headteacher
