We value and look after our staff. A key part of our regular reflection is ensuring we have effective staff wellbeing and that we operate within a supportive and collegiate culture that seeks to reduce workload and ensure a good work – life balance.
Improving professional practice and pedagogy is key to our work. We see professional development for all associate and teaching staff as the foundation of our success. Whatever post you are applying for, you will be well supported in your professional development.
We are highly regarded by ITT providers for the quality of training that we offer colleagues in the early stages of teacher training and development and we have a wealth of experienced colleagues who are able to support Early Career Teachers as they develop their craft. We fully support professional development for more experienced teachers and encourage national accreditations in subject, pastoral, teaching and senior leadership. We support and encourage teachers to develop skills in examination, as well as further professional study for Masters’ and Doctorate qualifications, and secondments to leadership teams.
We work hard, but the rewards are immense. We welcome visits to our school prior to application – please contact us if you would like to see us in action. We are also keen to hear from colleagues who wish to have their details kept on file for when future vacancies arise.
