Contract term: Permanent
The school:
At Frederick Gent our aspiration is to ensure that every student has a happy, successful and memorable time at our school. We are proud of our achievements and were thrilled to recently be judged ‘Good’ in our Ofsted inspection. We are confident that together as a school and the wider community we will continue to make a difference to our students and enable our provision to become outstanding.
The school is located off junction 28 of the M1, and only a 10-minute drive from Alfreton, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
The role:
