Do you want to work in a school that has been rated “GOOD” in all areas in November 2022, but also …

That has undergone rapid change?

Where the culture and ethos of the school is not just a fancy poster in reception, but something that we live and breathe every day?

With dedicated and caring staff who put the pupils and their learning, growth and personal development first?

Where the teacher is valued as the expert?

That has a very clear and systematic approach to improving students’ attitude to learning?

That takes workload seriously and provides additional PPA (up to 16%) to support staff to forge relationships with parents to improve behaviour and attitudes to
learning?

That values staff input, feedback and collaboration as the school moves on our mission to excellence.

That provides staff CPD to develop their practice and skills both internally but also recognised national qualifications?

That prioritises a ‘Knowledge Rich’ curricular approach, valuing the importance of a curriculum accessible to all?
