What the school offers its staff
CFS is a happy, collaborative and forward thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development
of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. In our recent Ofsted, inspectors observed that
CFS is a vibrant, ambitious and inclusive school, where our respectful and friendly pupils are thriving and are
well prepared for their adult lives. Our values of ‘nurture, challenge and inspire’ influence everything we do
as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of school life. If you share our values and ideals, we strongly
encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website

Whilst this is a Secondary post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-
Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleaguesfrom both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners.
There may be opportunities for you to teach in the Primary phase of CFS in the future, if this was somethingyou wished to pursue.
