It is these common goals and the ability to see challenges as opportunities rather than barriers that enables our collective and unified response, built over many years of dedication to the students of our Harlington School community.

Where we support, coach and promote successfully from within, we are also in the position to recruit transformational staff who can support, build on and enable our continued growth and change. We look for individuals with the capacity and drive to succeed, see solutions rather than problems, and are glass half full individuals with the ability to recognise that regardless of role, our students are paramount and that they have solutions to enable a better tomorrow.

We work hard, but the rewards are immense. We aim to maintain a work life balance so that in protecting each other we enable us to be at our best professionally and committed in the time we are here.
