Our partnership with the Institute of Education enhances this CPD offer, with many professional qualifications open to our team. We have a strong track record over recent years of staff joining the school and moving on into leadership roles within the trust.

Please note we offer a July start for potential ECT’s to ensure a strong induction and so that ECT’s can get paid over the summer break.
