This is a wonderful opportunity to join a school with a great community feel, real strengths and the ability and desire to develop further. From September 2023 there are just under 500 students from age 11-16, with numbers increasing every year.

We are looking for a team member with high expectations and standards, the ability to inspire but also the capacity to laugh and enjoy the challenges of this role. You need to be a team player and you will go the extra mile to support. In return, you will join a Trust that is full of activity, opportunity, and optimism. You will be strongly supported by our SLT in your work to ensure our provision is the best.
