The Ferrers School is a popular, oversubscribed school and we are looking to recruit staff who can work with us to strive for excellence.
We care passionately about our staff, their well-being and their professional development and this is reflected in the fact that we are an enthusiastic team, committed to working collaboratively and sharing the very best practice. We are seeking ambitious candidates who are keen to develop further and as such are committed to providing excellent CPD for the development of staff. We are striving for the very best for our students and we are focussed on and passionate about learning.
The Ferrers School is part of the successful Meridian Trust, a group of primary, secondary and special schools. Many of the schools in the trust are growing and there is a need to develop capacity, expertise and excellence in our staff body. We are currently working very closely with our colleagues at Sharnbrook Academy and as a school we look forward to playing a key role in the development of Meridian Trust’s free school due to open in Weldon, Corby in 2023.
The Ferrers, like the Meridian Trust, is also driven by our ability to adapt to the changing educational landscape led by determined staff who bring our community alive with their enthusiastic personalities, unshakeable work ethic and their commitment to delivering exceptional learning experiences for our children. What makes The Ferrers School, and the Trust, different is that we know how to nurture and bring out the very best in our talented staff.
