Terms of Appointment
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and written documentation recorded. Any gaps in employment history will be fully investigated. Safe recruitment procedures are followed and members of the Senior Management Team are accredited by the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Board/NSPCC for recruitment. Child protection awareness is an integral part of the induction programme for new members of staff.
Recruitment Checks
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. It is a condition of employment that the employee should not have been convicted of a criminal offence against children, nor have been dismissed from or resigned from a previous employer for misconduct of a similar nature. Having a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to employment; it will depend on the nature, circumstances and background of the offence. Our policy on the employment of ex-offenders is available on the vacancies section of the School’s website.
All employees are expected to undergo child protection screening and appointments are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and other pre-employment screening. This includes receipt of at least two references satisfactory to the School, medical fitness, qualifications check where relevant for the post, the right to work in the UK, an identity check and an overseas police check if the applicant has worked abroad within five years from the date of appointment.
All appointments are made in accordance with our Equality policy and applicants should let us know of any special needs they may have so that adjustments can be made if required.
About Cokethorpe School
Cokethorpe is an independent, day school for boys and girls aged four to eighteen, set in 150 acres of glorious Oxfordshire parkland, just two miles south of Witney and ten miles to the west of Oxford.
The School is unique in many ways; not only is our setting unsurpassed but we are also one of the only co-educational day schools in Oxfordshire with both Prep and Senior schools on the same site.
At the heart of our School is the belief that our pupils dig deeper, reach higher, and stretch further when they feel the embrace of supportive peers and the oversight of enthusiastic and experienced teachers who know when and how to challenge them. This sense of community is fostered by the close-knit House system where young people develop a deep sense of belonging; it is forged around the close, working relationship of the small classrooms, where teachers engage the intellect, encourage students to grapple with ideas, and teach lifelong respect and humility.
We are a happy, strong and vibrant community, in which individuals are generous of spirit, inspire friendship and support one another. Our teachers, pupils and parents value the School's small class sizes and emphasis on delivering liberal educational principles in an environment that celebrates individual achievements equally, whatever their passions might be.
