Teaching Staff Vacancies

Would you want to work in a school where 100% of staff would recommend working here to a friend and where all our Early Career Teachers told OFSTED ‘they never feel overwhelmed by the job’?

We offer a supportive environment in which professional and pedagogical development is at the heart of what we do and in which teacher workload is managed very effectively through sensible loadings, centralised planning and whole-class feedback. At the same time, we expect the highest standards from everyone and, as a result, outcomes for young people are excellent and continue to improve (Progress 8 in 2024 was +0.62).

This is what our staff have to say:

Firstly, wonderful learners make an excellent teaching environment. Very friendly and supportive team of colleagues that create an excellent working environment and also the feeling that, if you are passionate and driven, you will see real results. You can have a positive impact.

(Joe, Head of Humanities)
