About our School

Underpinning our vision - ‘striving for success by focusing on learning’ – the school has pursued a rigorous and continuous programme of educational improvement. As a result, curriculum planning, teaching strategies and assessment techniques have advanced and driven student progress. Work that the school has done to further improve behaviour and attendance has resulted in students becoming increasingly ambitious for their futures.

Our unique Knowledge Connected approach teaches students to analyse and understand their curriculum of study through the application of six key concepts, encouraging them to identify and solve problems in practical and creative ways that give them a sense that they can have an impact on the world around them.

We were delighted to have been awarded a ‘good’ judgement from Ofsted in May 2017. However, we are not complacent and want to achieve much more for our students and to build on the school’s strengths. We seek to appoint an ambitious, creative, committed and energetic colleague to be a key contributor to the achievement of this goal.

Successful candidates will join a collaborative and committed staff team that have a vision to succeed through a shared focus on teaching and learning.

You will benefit from: 

• high quality professional development

• regular training to develop your skills and knowledge

• a tailored induction programme to meet your needs and ongoing support from an experienced and skilled team

In addition to the opportunities for training and development, we also offer a competitive rewards and benefits package.

As an employee you will have access to:

• The Perkbox platform that brings employee benefits, discounts, wellbeing, and staff recognition

• Access to Employee Assistance Scheme provided by Health Assured 

• Bike2Work Scheme - where you can save up to 42% on the cost of bicycles and/or equipment

Closing Date: Friday 10th June 2022, at 12pm

Early applications are encouraged as we will review applications as we receive them and applicants may be contacted before the closing date.

Creative Education Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undertake relevant safeguarding checks.
