Job overview
Thank you for your interest in the post of Minibus Driver here at Abbeyfield School.
We seek to employ a reliable driver for our Football Academy course.
We are affiliated to Crystal Palace Football Club; this job would suit anyone with a love of football and who can be a positive role model - someone who is looking to help make a difference to pupils lives. You must be reliable and a good timekeeper - we cannot let our students down.
We require a driver for 20 hours per week. You will start from September 2 2024.
You will collect pupils each morning (Monday to Friday) from pick up points at 7am and drop them into school for an 8.45am start. You will then return the players to the drop off points from 3.15pm.
On a Wednesday, players have fixtures, you would take them to these and then drop them to the pick-up points.
We, like all schools in the Creative Education Trust, pursue a rigorous and continuous programme of educational improvement. This is alongside an aim to provide students with a rich programme of extra-curricular activities. Abbeyfield offers a varied diet of curriculum and enrichment opportunities and students benefit from Trust organised events such as the key concept launch days, debate and essay writing competitions. We also have our annual days of Shakespeare performance which are a visible example of the impact we can have on students’ creativity. We are often the host school for these events to allow students from all trust schools to work in a professional theatre space. We are always keen to expand further on the opportunities we provide for students to develop their creativity, resilience and independence.
We believe Abbeyfield is a very special place to work and we are excited about the future. If you are passionate about what we are trying to achieve and you feel you can make a real difference in this role then I look forward to receiving your application.

Kind Regards,
Fiona Aris, Principal

About Abbeyfield School
Abbeyfield School is a vibrant, inclusive community where every student is supported to develop the skills, confidence and experiences needed to succeed in the wider world. Under the leadership of Principal Henry Gowney-Hedges, the school is driven by a clear commitment to excellence, high expectations and strong values.
As part of Creative Education Trust (CET), Abbeyfield School is guided by a shared set of values and a collective ambition to transform lives through education. These values - creativity, collaboration, courage and excellence - are embedded throughout teaching, learning and leadership. They underpin a school culture where students are supported to think creatively, work together effectively, take positive risks and strive for their personal best.
Our ethos is rooted in our core values of Ambition, Respect and Kindness (ARK), which underpin all aspects of school life. We are ambitious for every student, supporting them on a rich learning journey from Year 7 through to Year 13, with the aim of achieving their very best academic outcomes. An increasingly bespoke curriculum ensures that individual needs are met, enabling students to flourish both academically and pastorally.
Through teamwork and a shared desire to support and challenge every student to achieve their personal best, we are proudly building on our 2021 Ofsted ‘Good’ judgement and the very pleasing recent outcomes achieved by our students.
As a specialist Performing Arts college, Abbeyfield offers exceptional enrichment opportunities. Students benefit from access to a professional theatre, two dance studios, a sports centre, gymnasium and a fully equipped fitness suite. These facilities support a wide range of opportunities, from high-quality productions - such as the recent outstanding performance of Sister Act - to excellent sporting provision through access to the onsite Goals facility.
Mutual respect is a cornerstone of our community. Clear expectations, strong routines and a carefully structured pastoral programme promote positive behaviour, collaborative problem-solving and effective de-escalation, ensuring that all students feel safe, supported and able to make sustained progress.
Kindness sits at the heart of Abbeyfield School. We recognise the challenges young people face today and place a strong emphasis on wellbeing, positive relationships and social responsibility. Students are encouraged to be kind to themselves and others, act as positive active bystanders and understand the impact of their choices - both in school and beyond, including online.
Abbeyfield School has high standards for all members of its community while remaining fully inclusive. We expect students to be punctual, smartly presented, ready to learn and proud to represent their school. With the right support and guidance, students are empowered to meet these expectations and make the most of their time with us.
