- Embraces our bilingual ethos, celebrating language, culture and the importance of developing global citizens.
- Builds strong, positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.
- Is reflective, collaborative and committed to continually improving their practice and contributing to school improvement.
You don't need to speak German, but you do need to believe in the power of bilingual education and be excited about bringing our vision to life.
Why join Judith Kerr?
You'll be joining a school with a truly distinctive identity, a wonderful community and an exciting future. We are proud of what makes Judith Kerr special, while remaining ambitious about what we can achieve together.
As part of Anthem Schools Trust, you will have opportunities to collaborate, develop professionally and contribute to a wider network of schools committed to improving outcomes for children.
