We are particularly interested in how you will complement our existing collective of staff skills and knowledge in terms of curriculum and school development, so please ensure you clearly state which subjects/specific areas you believe your strengths to be, in your application’s supporting statement.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
