Subsequently, we seek to appoint colleagues with a shared mindset: we value individuals who work hard and recognise the importance of developing their professional learning because “Every Teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better*”.

• Assessment policies that promote more feedback and less marking.
• A cover policy that means you will rarely be asked to cover colleagues’ lessons..
• The opportunity to work from home from lunchtime onwards where possible.
• Colleagues who actively share their knowledge of innovative technologies and AI to develop outstanding T&L and reduce workload.

If you think you could be the right fit for our school, we look forward to hearing from you!
