The Pochin School are currently not recruiting for any vacancies.
Please see below the vacancies we are recruiting for Trust wide.
The Pochin School is a successful school with a very dedicated staff who care about the needs of all our community members. We are proud to be able to offer a stimulating environment which aims to develop each child's potential while encouraging their individuality.
We are a school that is always striving to do better and one that faces the challenges of education with a positive attitude. We are a school with a long history of success and achievement balanced by an outward looking profile that aims to learn from the educational environment around us. However, we contrast this with a traditional feel about the school with smart school uniform and long established traditions.
The Pochin School is a co-educational school for children aged four to eleven years in the village of Barkby. Many of the children come from outside the catchment area from the surrounding villages and Hamilton. In total we have approximately 140 children. The main building was built in 1869 and enlarged in 1894. It is a Grade 2 listed building that has been modernised in the last few years to make it suitable for the 21st Century whilst maintaining its character.
The school has five classes. Outside, we have two playgrounds, one for the Infants and one for the Juniors. The Cricket Pitch is used as a sports field and we use the Village Hall for dinners, assemblies and PE. Mission Statement Valuing individuals through high expectations. We are a small school that values high expectations in which individual children are nurtured through: quality teaching and learning; opportunity for children to achieve their full potential; a caring, happy, secure learning environment in a rural setting; high expectations of behaviour and discipline; strong leadership and teamwork with all staff; valuing partnership with the wider community, especially parents; and providing equal opportunity for all.
Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in April 2014. We were very pleased that the overall inspection judgment was that The Pochin School is an outstanding school.
We are part of the Bradgate Education Partnership
