All teachers have curriculum responsibilities and belong to teaching and learning teams. There are opportunities to progress to UPR, project lead and apply for leadership positions. We value continuous professional development and encourage teachers to study further to maintain high standards of pedagogy.
We have a shallow water pool onsite. Teachers are expected to support pool-based lessons, this requires water competency and confidence rather than swimming skills.

A person’s criminal record will not in itself prevent a person from being appointed to this post. Applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying. However in the event of the employment being taken up, any failure to disclose such offence, as detailed above, will result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Authority.
