About the School

Working for us

Here at James Elliman we are looking for special people who can play an important part in our pupil’s development.

As a teaching team we work together to strive to improve the quality of Education that we offer to all of our pupils. All staff will get the chance take part in our rich extra curriculum activities.

Ofsted comments on the strength of our strong senior leadership team commenting that…

“…the headteacher has provided the school with clear direction.”

It also commented on the effectiveness of our excellent tailor made whole school training and support systems -

“…The recent improvement in teaching and learning over the past year stems from effective self-evaluation and the school's own staff training programme. This has included the development of the high quality teaching assistants to class teacher status, which has stabilised the staffing.”
