About Us…

SS Osmund & Andrew’s is a Roman Catholic faith-based primary school for 3-11year olds which welcomes pupils from all faiths and none. 

We moved to two form entry in September 2021 and are currently on a fabulous journey of development as our whole school community ‘Grow in Faith, on a journey of Hope, together in Love’. 

We were graded as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in January 2023, who said “Staff feel extremely well supported by leaders because their well-being is prioritised and their workload is always taken into consideration”.

We are so proud of our pupils at SS Osmund and Andrew’s, and we thank our staff for all they do to encourage positive behaviour and high achievements.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and proactive individual to fulfil this role.
