Recruitment Process

Employing the right staff is key to the success of our school. We understand that valuing and developing our staff is the best way to access their full potential. We in return seek staff who are committed, passionate about working with children and have a growth mindset. If this is you, please look out for vacancies which will be advertised on this page.

Our RET Staff Charter summarises the commitment we make to all staff who join and work at Ridgeway Education Trust.

The Trust is committed to supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We value and respect the different contributions that each of our staff, students and stakeholders bring and strive to create an inclusive culture that treats people equitably. Please read our EDI Plan and statement for further information.

Due to the number of applications we receive for some vacancies, if you do not hear from us within 1 week of the closing date, you have unfortunately not been successful at the shortlisting stage and will not be invited to interview.

Sutton Courtenay Primary School and Ridgeway Education Trust is committed to safeguarding, equality and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff working in all its schools and volunteers to share this commitment. Recruitment to all posts will be subject to satisfactory enhanced DBS, references, and pre-employment safeguarding checks.  All Leadership roles will require a Section 128 check.  The possession of a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining a post. All cases are considered confidentially and according to the nature of the role and information disclosed.  To view our Safeguarding policy, please visit our website: https://www.suttoncourtenayprimary.co.uk/keeping-safe/

Please be aware that you will be required to bring your original degree certificate, proof of residence and photographic ID, as applicable, to interview.
