Selection Process:

Candidates will appreciate that, at this time, it is not possible to run our recruitment processes as we would under normal circumstances.  If candidates want to get a flavour of our school – please visit our website, though aspects of our information are under revision, most particularly around the curriculum.  We would also direct you to our Facebook page, Twitter account and our new Facebook off-shoot for this period of school closure ‘Be More Thirsk’.  We also have a nascent YouTube channel you may wish to look at.

We will conduct interviews by Microsoft Teams.  Prior to the interview, you will be sent some tasks to prepare and submit back to us prior to interview.  A discussion will then take place around the tasks you have undertaken during the interview process.

Our ambitious school is based in the easily accessible market town of Thirsk which lies very close to the A1(M), A19 and mainline rail links, between two beautiful National Parks.

Closing Date:   9 am on Thursday, 13th May 2021

Interviews will take place on Tuesday, 18th May 2021

Completed applications should be sent to diane.atkinson@thirskschool.org
