What we can offer you:

We celebrate being part of a diverse school community that is focused on our shared values. We have a structured induction programme for early career teachers and for all new colleagues.

We support career progression and offer targeted professional development and the opportunity to apply for and qualify through National Professional Qualifications for those aspiring to move into middle or senior leadership positions. Non-teaching staff are encouraged to identify areas of development and the school supports training and learning opportunities wherever possible.

The strong team of highly qualified staff has extensive and varied experience. They share a commitment to high standards of learning and care for the personal wellbeing of each student.

Opportunities for professional development are essential and care is taken to ensure all staff have access to training and new experiences through a comprehensive and personalised programme of CPD, both elective and directed through twilight and inset days.

There is an active staff association, which arranges social activities throughout the year.
