Jonathan is Principal of one of the other 2 schools in the Cross Keys Academy Trust, a joint trust of 3 standalone, primary academies. The previous principal left in August 2014 and Jonathan kindly agreed to assist us for 2 terms, whilst we recruit a replacement.
In 2012 Ofsted graded us a satisfactory school. Since then we have sought to address the issues raised and provide a better education and environment for our school community.
Burton Latimer is changing with many hundreds of houses being constructed bringing potential pupils of primary age. With the opening in September this year of our new teaching block we also stand on the threshold of exciting change – which will see our numbers on roll grow from 230 to 420. We have the accommodation, we have the prospect of additional pupils coming with the new housing and we have plans for recruiting staff to match that growth.
The governing body is enthusiastic and keen to play its part in moving the school forward. The staff and governors are committed to raising standards.
Whoever you are, you will need to be able to support the Christian ethos of our school as you seek to help us provide the best possible education for our pupils.
Please come and visit us and we will be delighted to show you our school and answer your questions.
