What the school offers its staff

If done well, teaching is a hugely challenging, complex and yet rewarding job!

Conscious of this, we are constantly striving to evaluate staff work-load and

well-being, making this an important part of our ongoing self evaluation.

Situated just minutes from the incomparable Jurassic coast and its world famous

beaches, we are fortunate to be accommodated on a beautiful 750 acre campus,

frequented by paying members of the public who ‘flock’ to the popular Animal Farm park and grounds with their families. Staff are encouraged to use the facilities that this

provides both from a teaching perspective, but also at the weekend with their families (where entry to the site is free to staff).

Facilities on site include an international standard equine arena accompanied by a

working stables, offering horse-riding lessons to all abilities. There is a fully stocked gym with both fixed gym apparatus and free weights (free for staff to use) and extensive grounds including a boating lake.

We ensure that our support for staff is robust and visible. The Senior Leadership team maintain a strong, supportive and caring presence for both staff and students alike.

Line management support ensures a regular through-feed of ideas and views from all staff members and these are genuinely incorporated into our school improvement model.

We have invested in a CPD programme which has been rated by 100% of staff as ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’. With both weekly and annual focus and linking with our two sponsors (the Kingston Maurward College, and the Ofsted rated ’Outstanding’ Thomas Hardye School) we provide regular opportunities for staff development, both through in-house training and national development and leadership courses.

The school year mirrors that of the college, which is, therefore, a little shorter than that

of some other schools. This allows us to dedicate time over the summer term (whilst students are exploring work experience opportunities) towards all staff being ‘off –timetable’ and preparing for the year to come. Following this, our staff benefit from

additional holiday in the summer term, as well as additional days throughout the year. This can, and does, lead to staff being able to benefit from taking advantage of cheaper holidays for example, which may be taken at what would be ‘term-time’ in

another school.

Most notably, however, is the incredibly collegiate and supportive staff, which is perhaps reflected in the minimal staff turnover.

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. Offers of employment may be subject to the following checks (where relevant): childcare disqualification Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) medical online and social media prohibition from teaching right to work satisfactory references suitability to work with children You must tell us about any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
