- No after school meetings lasting longer than an hour and only one meeting a week

In June 2022 we were once more awarded as Platinum Investors in People School, placing us in the top 1% of employers nationally. The following comments are from our 2019 and 2022 reports, and they sum up what it is like to work in our community:
“There is an underlying ‘family’ feel to the school, with everyone wanting to do their best for the students, whilst supporting one another in their development and wellbeing.”
“Leaders invest heavily in their staff, for example they provide opportunities for staff to take care of both their physical and mental health. Staff feel valued and like working at the school. They comment favourably on Leaders’ attempts to reduce unnecessary workload, enable flexible working and respond positively to reasonable requests for compassionate or other leave.”
Please have a look at our website to find out more about how we can offer you a superb work/life balance.
Closing date for applications: midday 20th May 2024
