A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join our skilled, passionate and enthusiastic team of staff. We are looking to recruit an inspirational leader who will lead on whole school behaviour. This post is suitable for an outstanding practitioner that is looking for their next senior step and is committed to improving outcomes for the community the school serves.

Another key responsibility is to lead on our ‘alternative curriculum’ offer.

We are an 11-18 mixed school (1130 learners with 91 students in our growing 6th Form). A fully inclusive school, we have a wide range of students in terms of background and academic starting point. Our motto is ‘Proud to belong’ and our mission is to improve the life chances for all our learners, providing them with great qualifications, a well-developed character, and enhanced employability skills. We value all subjects highly, placing an equal emphasis on success in both academic subjects and those of a creative and vocational nature. We are part of the Meller Educational Trust (MET), giving us opportunities to collaborate with other local schools and share best practice and learning from one another.
