  • A team of hardworking and enthusiastic professionals
  • A supportive Leadership Team and Governing Body that go above and beyond to support staff
  • The opportunity to work across the Orchard Learning Alliance, the Trust we are joining, where you can work with other schools in the local area
  • A chance to be creative and drive the school forward
  • A commitment to CPD
