This is an opportunity to join the middle-leadership of a school where the ambition is a simple one: to become the highest performing school in the UK within the next three years.

Every student should have the opportunity to attend University when they leave.
Discipline, hard work, consistency and routines underpin student wellbeing and happiness.
That group work, learning checklists and ‘active learning’ are overrated.
That academic rigour, challenge and knowledge acquisition are vital to success.
That school leaders remove barriers for colleagues so that they can grow and excel.

History is hugely important to the future of the school and we are very passionate about its further development. This is an excellent pathway to senior leadership and we take a great deal of pride in growing leaders of the future.
