What the school offers its staff

Dear Candidate

Thank you for your interest in this role and in our school. Ecclesfield School is a popular and over-subscribed all-ability, 11-16 school. Ecclesfield School joined the Minerva Learning Trust in December 2017. The school received a ‘Good’ Ofsted inspection in the summer of 2022, and we continue to build on this work. Results in Summer of 2024 were a step forward from 2023 and we strive to improve in all areas, every day.

Here at Ecclesfield School we understand the power of education to transform lives, communities and society. In everything we do we aspire to achieve individual and collective excellence through nurturing every student’s unique potential to make sure when they leave and enter the outside world, they are ready to succeed and make an invaluable contribution to the wider society.

Ecclesfield is a happy, creative, focused and aspirational community that is built on the strong foundations of our broad curriculum, our inclusive ethos, our highly qualified and knowledgeable staff and our enthusiastic students. All our staff ensure that our students are given the very best opportunities through their education. My belief is that people achieve the best outcomes when they enjoy what they are doing, feel safe and are rewarded for their commitment and success. Our philosophy is simple and is based around our core values of Work Hard, Be Kind, Aim High, Show GRIT.

We expect the very highest levels of behaviour and attitude to learning from our students, coupled with a real focus on building positive relationships. We take every opportunity to study a wealth of subjects at both Key Stage 3 and 4. Our wider school life gives students and staff the opportunity to travel all over the world, take part in shows, give back to the local community, be a part of a team, go out into the working world, experience other cultures and meet people from all walks of life.

Support and care are equally important for all members of staff. We have a well-developed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme at Ecclesfield School that is now supported further by the growing CPD offer from the Trust. Wellbeing is also rightly high on our agenda. We have clear well-being principles in place that guide our work in school and an annual action plan full of suggestions made by staff.

I look forward to receiving your application.

Richard Walkden

Headteacher
