This helps the staff to be passionate about everything they do and there is a great sense of community. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in school life beyond the curriculum and within the wider community.

In return, we offer:

• An opportunity to work as part of a professional, highly motivated, engaged, and supportive team.
• A supportive and inclusive staff environment.
• Opportunities for career development
• Enrolment in the Local Government Pension Scheme
