What skills and experience we're looking for

  • Can see the strength in difference; who’s as comfortable thinking outside the box as they are building a new one and who knows that teaching is about connection, not just curriculum.
  • Isreal. Someone who understands that behaviour is communication; that anxiety is exhausting; that connection is more powerful than correction.
  • Doesn’t flinch at a hard day — and who knows that behind every challenge is a young person with a story that matters.
  • Believes relationships are the foundation of learning.
  • Who can help us create a place where our pupils feel safe, seen and celebrated.
  • Embraces creativity over conformity.
  • Finds joy in small steps and celebrates every spark of progress.
  • Wants to be part of something transformative, not transactional.
  • A sense of humour with a curious, open heart.

What the school offers its staff

  • An inclusive and collaborative team
  • A school where pupils surprise and inspire you daily
  • A school where creativity isn’t a buzzword – it’s the heartbeat
  • A place where laughter and learning go hand in hand
  • A school and growing trust where you’ll have the opportunity to develop your career and whose ethos is encompassed in our vision “Learning together in pursuit of happiness”
