What skills and experience we're looking for
Due
to expansion and growth in student numbers, this is an exciting time to join
Abbeyfield School. Our recent ‘Good’ Ofsted rating (November 2022) highlighted

Governors are supportive of staff’s workload and well-being'. As a result, both
the leaders and students are looking for high-calibre staff who are committed
to delivering outstanding teaching and learning opportunities for all. As of 1st July 2025, we

The Headteacher and Governors are keen to appoint a strong and committed leader and team player to become a Raising Standards Leader from September 2025. This role is deemed essential to build on and develop the effective pastoral support that is provided to ensure that all students within the school are able to achieve their academic potential. This role will also ensure that the welfare and attendance for the students is effectively tracked, supported and challenged.
What the school offers its staff

All our staff receive professional CPD opportunities much of which will draw on our already established links with other secondary schools in the Trust, as well as the opportunities provided by the National College and NPQ qualifications.
