We understand that our staff team are at the heart of our success. We have developed a strong culture of collaboration and cooperation with a high regard for personal and professional development. If you feel that you have the ability and drive to enable our students to reach their full potential, joining our school also offers many personal benefits including:

  • A committed and passionate staff team
  • A strong commitment to your continuing professional development and training opportunities
  • Being part of a highly regarded, highly supportive and ambitious school/federation
