Whitechapel Primary School is a popular, rural, school that prides itself on its strong, social caring ethos.  It is extremely well resourced and has a committed and friendly staff, happy children and supportive parents.
The school is located close to Inglewhite and has extensive grounds enabling us to provide the very best teaching and learning opportunities.  As a result, children travel from surrounding areas and further afield to attend our successful school.

It is important that the successful candidates are friendly, hard-working and adaptable. In addition, we are looking for people who can use their own initiative and are excited to join our small and dedicated team.
