At our core is the belief that every student can succeed, and our aim is for students to fulfil their limitless potential. Leaders and staff work hard to ensure that this ambition is realised for all pupils. Over the last decade we have consistently achieved outcomes that have placed us in the top 5-10% of schools nationally for student progress. We aim for all students to achieve excellent academic results and many gain places at top universities, but we are also a truly comprehensive school which tries to get the best out of every child, whatever their ability or circumstances. We are known for our exceptionally strong relationships between staff and students. We don’t select our students, but we do select our staff. Each highly trained staff member is an expert in their subject, here to support, guide and inspire our students to achieve success.
Our school is a highly diverse community, and it is very important to us that the profile of our staff group matches that of our students. We therefore welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates from a wide range of backgrounds.
If you share our vision and want to join a school where your skills as a teaching professional will be recognised and valued, please apply
