We are looking for highly effective classroom practitioners who are keen to develop professionally, are creative and passionate about teaching with high expectations for themselves and our pupils, as well as being resilient, determined and prepared to work hard. In return, we can provide excellent mentoring and support, a dedicated and experienced team to work within and a school community which is motivated, visionary and has a great sense of humour. We offer a friendly, caring working environment, which recognises the challenges of education but works together in a solution focused way to navigate a way through.
We live out our vision of ‘Together we are inspiring a community with a bright future’ through our carefully sequenced, ambitious curriculum rooted in research and inclusion. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do and we ensure that all members of the team gain a secure understanding of what it means to be trauma informed on induction. Our care for staff and pupils extends into our approach to mental health and wellbeing which is woven through policy and practice.
We believe passionately in developing leaders within education. We offer a bespoke coaching package to all leaders, including subject leaders, throughout the year which focuses on developing individuals as strategic leaders who can promote rich outcomes for all pupils through their actions.
