Thank you for showing an interest in working at The Snaith School. Whilst our high expectations are non-negotiable, in return we offer high levels of professional trust and a supportive and happy work environment. We are committed to the professional development of our employees.

The Snaith School is a successful school with 860 students on roll. We are proud of our inclusive culture and strong pastoral care and feel this, as well as our reputation for excellent outcomes, is why we attract a significant number of pupils from outside our catchment area. Situated on the edge of the East Riding, we are easily accessible via the motorway and local road network and many of our pupils arrive by bus from surrounding rural villages.

Our students are polite, friendly and keen to do well. They respond well to inspirational and dedicated staff who they know care about them and their futures. At The Snaith School, students are offered a broad curriculum, which meets the interests and needs of all our students and prepares them for their next steps and working life. Never complacent, we are committed and motivated to provide the very best education for all of our students.

In 2018, we chose to join The Education Alliance, an established and successful Multi-Academy Trust which is committed to ethical leadership and whose values totally align with those of The Snaith School. By working in a trust that values the importance of schools being enjoyable, rewarding work environments in which all colleagues believe the demands of their job are reasonable and manageable, we know we will continue to recruit and retain excellent staff. The aim of the trust and The Snaith School is to be an organisation where people want to work and choose to stay.

It is an exciting time to be joining our school and we strongly recommend a visit so you can see for yourself what we have to offer.

Choosing to become a member of The Education Alliance multi-academy in 2018, has strengthened our school further as we collaborate across our schools and central team for the benefit of our students and staff. As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives. Our improvement strategy is simple – a good teacher in every classroom delivering an excellent curriculum, underpinned by effective systems for behaviour and support.

We believe that for too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.

To support this,

  • Trust      our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing      them to go off-site in their PPA
  • Have      centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising      detentions
  • Demand      ethical leadership built on professional      trust
  • Reject      fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly      subject-specific
  • Have      reduced data collections to twice      yearly
  • Do      not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
  • Do      not deploy staff at other trust schools unless it is at their      request

We have removed the following:

  • Performance management      objectives and performance-related pay
  • Lesson observations and      high stakes, toxic accountability
  • Onerous marking policies
  • Requirements for daily      or weekly lesson plans

We know that just seeking to reduce the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture.  To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.  Being a Headteacher can be a lonely place, but in our trust we have a strong team ethos, where we work together to support each other, and our Headteachers meet regularly.  Our central team try, wherever possible, to do the heavy lifting for our schools, to ease pressures and to utilise the range of professions we employ in our trust.

We offer a range of benefits, including:

  • payment of annual prescriptions
  • free eye tests
  • flexible working (with a large proportion of teaching      leaders working part-time)
  • investment in training and professional development
  • access to an Employee Assistance Package
  • a Be Well programme offering counselling and mental      health training and support
  • free tea and coffee in staff rooms for all staff
  • free parking
  • a workload charter that ensures we have an enjoyable,      rewarding working environment where workloads are manageable
