We are a cheerful, thriving Federation across two infant schools in Totton.  We are full of hard working staff and children, supported successfully by a skilled Governing Body and an increasingly engaging parent community. 

As a Federation, we share expertise and enthusiasm across both schools, making a big difference to the lives and futures of the children we teach.  We are looking for a committed and passionate caretaker who will share our aspirational and optimistic outlook.

The Federation operates under the leadership of one Executive Head teacher and a single Governing Body. The staff and stakeholders work together within a supportive team ethos and we are all committed to our inclusive ethos and on-going improvement.

Your contract would be to the Federation and you would therefore benefit from the professional opportunities across both schools. Training from Hampshire Caretaking Services will be provided.
