This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and committed individual to make a difference in the lives of young people. We place a strong emphasis on pastoral work and the role of a tutor, and use a restorative approach in supporting pupils. The school is heavily oversubscribed and results are considerably above local and national averages (progress 8 in 2024 is projected to be significantly positive).

Our vision for all our pupils is that they are valued and inspired to be the best that they can be. We seek to develop the following 4 qualities in our pupils:

• Aspiration - Whickham students set aspirational goals that are ambitious and without limitation.
• Respect - Without compromise, Whickham students demonstrate respect for themselves, others and their environment.
• Resilience - Whickham students persevere with challenges especially when faced with setbacks.
• Empathy - Whickham students strive to be kind, caring and and understanding of each other’s feelings and needs.
