This post at a new school with languages as a core subject is the opportunity that education professionals dream about, being part of a talented and committed staff that is growing a school from Year 7 up; supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school; having the benefit of a brand new building with all the facilities and supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust.

We are recruiting to add to our founding group of exceptional staff in order to achieve our vision and work together to create a genuinely outstanding school. As a second in charge of Geography you will help shape our provision in this area.
