Thank you for your interest in this post and for considering a career at Queen’s Park High School. I am delighted to welcome you to our school, an academy within The Learning Trust, situated just south of the River Dee in the heart of Chester.
Queen’s Park High School is a community built on care, ambition and belief in young people. Working closely with Christleton High School, Chester International School and Belgrave Primary School, we share a mission, to empower every student to flourish academically, socially and personally. Our aim is for students to leave us with the confidence, character and skills they need to succeed in life. Further information about The Learning Trust can be found at www.tltrust.co.uk.
Relationships sit at the heart of everything we do. We believe that strong, respectful and trusting relationships between staff and students are the foundation of effective learning and personal growth. Our high expectations for achievement and behaviour are rooted in this relational culture, built on integrity, kindness and mutual respect. When students feel known, valued and supported, they are able to achieve far more than they thought possible.
Our staff team is the strength of the school. We are a group of dedicated, reflective and compassionate professionals who care deeply about making a meaningful difference to young people’s lives. Colleagues work collaboratively and consistently go above and beyond to ensure every student feels safe, inspired and supported to reach their full potential.
We are committed to developing the whole child, recognising that education extends beyond the classroom. All staff contribute to our compulsory enrichment programme, which is central to our vision for students’ personal development, wellbeing and character. This programme provides opportunities to build relationships, broaden horizons and develop the skills and experiences that equip students for life beyond school. We therefore seek colleagues who are enthusiastic about enrichment and eager to play an active role in the wider life of the school.
Our ambition for the future is clear: continuous improvement and an unwavering commitment to providing every student with the very best education. We build on our strengths, embrace reflection and innovation, and remain firmly focused on excellence and equity for all learners.
This is an exciting time to join Queen’s Park High School. Student numbers have grown by 42% over the past three years, reflecting the confidence placed in us by our community. As we continue to grow, we seek staff who share our values and believe in the transformative power of education.
