Further details about the role at St Thomas’ Church of England Junior School, our school vision of being ‘a proud community, flourishing together’ is at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in our Christian values of hope, love, respect, and kindness, we are committed to transforming the lives of all our children. We believe that success comes from holding high aspirations and expectations for every child. In September 2025 we began working with Trinity Multi Academy Trust with a view to joining their family of academies.
