Upper Key Stage 2 Class Teacher

Henwick Primary School is a welcoming, lively and diverse one and a half form entry school with a clear vision for the future. Consistently judged as “good” in our Ofsted Inspections we are now working towards creating an outstanding learning environment for our children. Our most recent Ofsted Inspection states:-

“….. Staff have very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour …. Pupils are very polite and welcoming and are proud of their school. “

“Teaching is good. Teachers ask questions and set tasks that make pupils think hard. Teachers’ marking helps pupils improve their work, especially in literacy.”
