About us

Be the Best you can be underpins everything we do at Bishop's Cleeve. Through this vision we aim to equip our children (and staff!) to respond positively to opportunities and challenges they are faced with, not only in school but also in the wider world. Our school's large team of professionals boast a wealth of experience and an abundance of enthusiasm. Although we are a larger than average school, with 3 classes in most year groups, we still maintain the 'family feel' through close community and staff connections. In addition, all staff benefit from the exceptional GLA CPD offer. There is opportunity for further support, training and development at every level; it really does go above and beyond a typical CPD offer! Well-being and mental health are a priority at Bishop's Cleeve and this is woven throughout the curriculum so you would be joining a kind and caring team. Collaboration and collective efficacy support everyone to feel that they are making a difference to outcomes for children, while developing your own knowledge, skills and confidence. Building relationships with staff, parents and the local community is really important to us - it's vital that we understand the views and opinions of our community so that we can best serve them. The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young persons and must ensure that the highest priority is given following the guidance and regulations to safeguard children and young people. The successful candidate will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Baring Service and qualification checks. The GLA is an equal opportunities employer.
