About Gladstone Road Primary School

A historic school, providing education to the children of Scarborough since 1896

Here at Gladstone Road Primary school, we provide a friendly and inspirational education setting for our staff and children. As a four-form primary school you join the largest primary team (in the area) who will support and challenge you in your practice.

 

Set in a historic school in the heart of Scarborough, we are very much an extension of local families and communities, and we pride ourselves on being able to offer more than just 'schooling'. 

 

We make the most of what is in the local area to provide pupils with a variety of educational experiences, ranging from annual trips to the beach in the summertime, attending local museums and art galleries, castles and more. Linking the curriculum to offsite activities to bring learning to life. 

 

Being part of #teamglaggo means you will be part of a forward-thinking, evolving, individual school. 

 

We welcomed our experienced Headteacher in January 2020 and since then, have overhauled our curriculum, leadership structure, provision, and learning environments, which we celebrated with a 'Good' Ofsted report in July 2023. We have a committed, talented and cohesive staff, delightful children and strong and supportive Governors - every one of us united to build a school we can all be proud of.

We welcome interest from experienced school professionals, accomplished administrators, and those with strong transferable skills in HR, health and safety, premises or finance. What matters most is your drive, your initiative, and your commitment to excellence.

 

Working in close partnership with the Head Teacher and senior leaders, you will become a central figure in ensuring our school runs smoothly, safely and successfully every single day.

 

This is a unique chance for someone ready to grow. Prior experience as a School Business Manager is not required. In your first year, you will receive dedicated support from the NYC finance team, giving you the confidence and expertise to master our systems and make a lasting impact.
