Lingey House Primary School is situated in Leam Lane Estate, Gateshead. We are a friendly and supportive school with amazing children who want to learn.

The school's values of Individuality, Kindness, Nurture, Respect and Resilience are at the heart of everything we do.

We want someone who has a good understanding of these values and who can promote and enhance them from the very start of our children's time at school.

• Has high expectations of themselves and the children they teach
• Has fantastic resilience with a real 'cando attitude'
• Works well as part of a team and is willing to participate fully in all aspects of school life

• An innovative SLT team who are passionate and knowledgeable about EYFS and prioritise wellbeing of staff as well as pupils
