The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Offers of employment are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check and other employment checks.

The posts are considered to be customer-facing positions; as such they fall within the scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers.

These requirements are set out in the job description. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.

The school is committed to equality and diversity in employment practice and service delivery.
