Swallow Dell is a vibrant, happy and welcoming place. We are looking to recruit a KS2 teacher to join us in September 2025. We would welcome applicants on the main pay scale who are ambitious and eager to progress and develop as future leaders. ECTs are welcome to apply - for an ECT applicant, there is the possibility of employment commencing following completion of training in July.

Please contact Headteacher James Berry (head@swallowdell.herts.sch.uk) to discuss and arrange a school tour.

Following the most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023, the school was graded Requires Improvement. This past 18 months has been an exciting time of change for the school with a new Headteacher in post from September 2023 and a new Deputy Head in post from January 2024. The leadership team and governing body have a clear vision for improvement and drive for high standards and the successful candidate will play a key part in this.

Swallow Dell is in Welwyn Garden City, close to the town centre and is well served with transport links. The school is a two-form entry with a Nursery provision, housed in two separate buildings. The school is fortunate to have some of the largest and most impressive school grounds of any primary school and there is a wealth of space and resources on site that children regularly access.

Applicants are warmly invited to make an appointment to visit our school.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All post holders are subject safeguarding checks, including a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, satisfactory references, medical clearance and social media checks.
