Our strong personal development offer ensures that pupil voice is central—our student leaders are proactive, reflective, and committed to improving the school.

We also offer:

• Specialist sports coaching alongside teachers in PE
• Access to artists and creative opportunities
• 1:1 iPads for pupils to enhance learning and reduce teacher workload

What are we looking for?

• A passionate and driven teacher who role-models excellence in teaching and learning

What can we offer?

• A supportive and collaborative team
• A comprehensive, bespoke CPD programme underpinned by coaching
