• Collaborative planning across the Trust with departments in different academies able to share resources and moderation linked by Microsoft Teams.
• A lesson visit schedule that is published one year in advance.
• A performance management process that is focused on three targets only: Subject knowledge, teaching and learning and either a departmental or whole school responsibility target regardless of your level of responsibility.
• Very flexible child-care arrangements - we are a very family friendly academy and really do understand how hard it can be juggling family life and work at times.
• Meetings for subject teachers only twice each half term.
• Reporting to parents only three times a year and no requirement for written comments. No formally graded lesson observations – the emphasis is on coaching and sharing practice.

We are a truly comprehensive school located in the heart of our community. There are high levels of respect, support and kindness across our staff team and senior leader.

Applications are welcome from candidates with all levels of experience, including NQT’s. The school offers an excellent progression programme.
