Discover what we can offer you, that other schools don't!

Would you like to work nine days but be paid for ten?

From September 2024, we have implemented a 9-day working fortnight for all permanent staff. The premise is simple, you will work nine days but be paid for ten, using the tenth day to ‘reset’, and thus giving you the opportunity to manage your work-life balance more effectively. Your reset day will be in addition to the mandatory allocation of PPA time.

Feedback from our current staff is unsurprisingly positive! The thought of coming back after a break was less overwhelming and staff say they feel more relaxed, recharged and ready for whatever the next nine working days bring! Plus they save on travelling time and expense and have a little more flexibility.

Could this make the difference you need?

Add to this a significant investment in your professional development and facilities that are second to none, including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop.
