About us
Charfield Primary is a small and friendly school set in beautiful grounds in the centre of Charfield Village.
Charfield aims to inspire, ignite and encourage a passion for lifelong learning, sparking curiosity, promoting creativity and nurturing developing passions to ensure that children grow and thrive on their journey through school. Our curriculum places huge importance on reading and a love of books. It also promotes the ‘big ideas’ of diversity, society and exploration.
Our dedicated team of staff model themselves as lifelong learners and put our children’s best interests at the heart of everything they do, working hard to ensure children remain challenged, motivated and engaged with their learning throughout their time with us. The school boasts wonderful facilities such as a forest-style school, large playing fields, climbing equipment and surrounding woodlands.
We value enthusiasm, responsibility and resilience and expect our children and staff to demonstrate these values daily. We also believe in the importance of courage when trying new things, collaboration and teamwork to achieve things together and the importance of always being respectful to one another.
Our Headteacher leads both Charfield and Tortworth Primary Schools, and while your main base will be Charfield, on occasion you may be asked to support at Tortworth. This collaborative approach allows staff to share expertise and strengthen provision across both schools.
We can offer you:
1. Happy, engaging students who thrive on inspirational leadership
2. A supportive trust and school community
3. Strong collaboration across the trust family of schools and access to a centralised team of specialists across all areas of school operations
4. A commitment to high‑quality CPD, with dedicated time and budget for your development
5. A values‑driven ethos where diversity, equity and inclusion are lived every day
6. Recognition of continuous service (modification order) to protect employment rights and entitlements
7. Teachers’ Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions and death‑in‑service cover
8. Occupational sick pay to support you during illness or unexpected emergencies
9. Family‑friendly leave packages to help maintain a healthy work–life balance
