About the employer

Cheddar First School and Preschool is a friendly and inclusive setting where we respect individuality and every child is at the heart.

Cheddar First School takes children aged between four and nine years old. The children are divided into ten classes in this successful village school.

We also welcome children from six months to four in our on-site Preschool, and these are divided into three specialised areas: Earlybirds Room (3-4 year olds) and Fledglings (2 year olds) and Chicks (6 months - 2 year olds).

We feel privileged to work with young, enthusiastic learners and want to make their time with us as exciting and productive as possible.

Working together with parents, we hope to help all children build upon their individual strengths and develop their personal skills, whatever their starting points.

We aim to be a school where people feel welcome and valued and where children can develop the confidence and independence necessary for personal success.

We have a dedicated and enthusiastic team of teaching and non-teaching staff who work with governors and parents to provide all children with a broad, stimulating and relevant education within a calm and purposeful learning environment.

We are fortunate in having a purpose built school with a wide range of facilities, such as a library and Nurture room.

We have a wonderful outdoor environment including a 'Forest school' area, pond and garden areas as well as a large field.

These outdoor spaces are used for a wide variety of learning experiences for all age groups.

The playground has a range of equipment to promote positive play and physical and creative challenges for all of the children.

Cheddar First Preschool is located in the school grounds and shares our wealth of facilities.
