Our exam outcomes remain considerably above national averages.

We are a large department currently consisting of 10 full time teachers, 3 part time teachers and 2 TAs who work largely within the department. Every class room also has an interactive smartboard. With year groups of 330, this makes our outcomes even more special.
In return you will find us a very supportive and warm team, with a range of experiences and teaching styles but also receptive to new ideas. You will be working with a focused and proactive team who thrive on sharing ideas and resources whilst working to a fully interactive Scheme of Work that every member of staff follows and contributes to, this includes numerous resources and structured homework tasks.
