Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and passionate teacher who is committed to improving outcomes for students.

• A flexible working initiative – Teachers are encouraged to work from home during their non-teaching commitments, including free periods, whenever feasible. We are committed to designing timetables that respect your time and wellbeing.
• A work/life balance envied by other schools – Your life outside school is just as important.

• An ethos of care for students and staff alike – Your wellbeing matters to us.
• A leadership team that supports you – Practical help, active listening, and professional trust are at the heart of our leadership approach.

In June 2022, we were proud to be once again awarded Platinum Investors in People status, placing us in the top 1% of employers nationally. Here’s what was said in our latest reports:
“There is an underlying ‘family’ feel to the school, with everyone wanting to do their best for the students, whilst supporting one another in their development and wellbeing.”
“Leaders invest heavily in their staff, providing opportunities for staff to take care of both their physical and mental health. Staff feel valued and like working at the school. They comment favourably on Leaders’ attempts to reduce unnecessary workload, enable flexible working, and respond positively to requests for compassionate or other leave.”
If you’re ready for a new challenge or curious about how secondary education could be your next rewarding career step, we would love to hear from you.
