What the school offers its staff

Relationships & Culture

Building a positive culture underpins any successful school and we, therefore, work hard as a team to create a culture rooted in mutual respect, in which teachers can teach and students can learn. We believe that students should be Ready, Kind and Safe for learning and our Ten Habits of Excellence are explicitly taught through our pastoral curriculum. At Tor Bridge High, we pride ourselves on setting the highest of standards for our students and we uphold these through positive relationships that are built on trust, kindness and safety. Staff are supported through a consistent and centralised behaviour system underpinned by a dedicated pastoral team.

Continuing Professional Development

At both Tor Bridge High and the Ted Wragg Trust, we invest in our staff as part of our Trust ‘Grow Great People’ strategy. We are committed to growing you into the best leader possible and believe that staff development is fundamental to building a highly ambitious and aspirational school. Moreover, we are proud to have a staff body who have high expectations for themselves and who model these to our students in order to create the same culture at all levels. Staff are the most valuable asset within a school, thus, our second-to-none commitment to coaching encompasses both 'instructional coaching' for teaching and 'leadership coaching' to foster the development of our teams and the continuous improvement of our staff. At Tor Bridge High, there is a culture of feedback with an emphasis on self-reflection and impact. All staff receive personalised instructional coaching every two weeks. We want to create dynamic and innovative teams where staff are learning collaboratively from one another; we encourage staff to seek these opportunities both internally and externally and to deliberately incorporate evidence-informed practice into their teaching to improve our school performance.

Growth & Development

We believe passionately that every student will succeed through an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of all students and through highly skilled adaptive teaching. Our curriculum is driven by academic rigour and powerful knowledge that prepares students for the rigours of future study and work. We are committed to celebrating diversity and inclusivity through our curriculum. We have a centralised curriculum, collaborating across departments and other schools to both share resources and to avoid duplication and unnecessary work at all levels. We provide our curriculum teams with the autonomy to decide the very best curriculum to enable our learners to thrive and flourish. The centralised curriculum ensures that all students have an equity of experience and ensures that teachers are not burdened by daily planning; instead they can focus on adaptive teaching and meeting the needs of all learners, alongside reducing workload.

Community, Personal Development & Enrichment



Tor Bridge High is the heart of the community and therefore, we take pride in our responsibility to serving our local families through strengthening family and community engagement, and helping the community to access services and additional resources. We understand the social and economic challenges faced by the community and the impact these can have on our students and their families, and we believe that we have an important role to play in tackling inequality by working in close partnership with families and the wider community. Education is not simply a collection of grades obtained at the end of examinations; education is about holistic growth and cultural development. We aim to accelerate the personal growth of all students by providing them access to a range of experiences that may not otherwise be available to them. This includes trips to theatres, galleries and concerts; residential trips that develop character; sporting opportunities; charity expeditions abroad and so much more. Further growing the breadth of extra-curricular activities is important to fulfilling our vision to ensure that every single child has access to culturally rich experiences.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment. Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.
