Our large Science team consists of 24 members of teaching staff and 5 technical support staff. The curriculum area is well-equipped with 14 laboratories.

If you would like to join a forward-thinking, research driven school committed to the pursuit of excellence, and have the skills and tenacity to really make a difference for young people, we would welcome your application.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to respect this commitment. Consideration of a person’s suitability to work alongside children is part of the selection process.
If invited for an interview, you will be:
* asked to complete a self-declaration form answering questions in relation to any criminal record or other information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.
* subject to an online search. This is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which we may wish to explore at interview.
If successful, you will be subject to:
* completion of an enhanced disclosure check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
* pre-employment checks which will include references, Health, Right to Work in UK, DBS and a declaration that neither they nor anyone who lives in the same household is a disqualified person under the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009.
Current or previous employers will be contacted, and the information requested will include:
* disciplinary offences relating to children, including any for which the penalty is ‘time expired’.
* whether the applicant has been the subject of any child protection concerns.

Rated as Good by Ofsted in 2019, Wilmslow High School is heavily oversubscribed in both the 11 – 16 sector and the sixth form. Student numbers have increased with more and more students from outside the town and from the independent sector of education seeking places. As the only state secondary school in the town, it enjoys good relationships with the partner primary schools in Wilmslow, Handforth and Alderley Edge, from where the majority of our students come.
Headteacher: Mrs Christina Kane
