The school is going through an exciting period of change, transitioning from a middle to secondary school. Our first Year 11 cohort will complete their Key Stage 4 journey in the summer of 2024. To accommodate the change of age range an extensive building project has been completed. Some highlights include a large MUGA, 5 new science laboratories, a large auditorium, graphics room, textiles room, a new food technology room and computer suite. Much of the school has been altered and refurbished to provide a full GCSE curriculum.
The successful candidate should be a hardworking, energetic and motivated individual who is willing to develop their expertise, take on new challenges, embrace change and is keen to join our developing team of committed professionals.
