Teacher of Music

This is a very exciting time to join the school, as it is in the process of building on the strong foundations of many successful years as a prominent and reputable school in the Redhill and Reigate area of Surrey. In September 2021, on the back of the move to our new facility we changed our name and look, becoming ‘Carrington School’. This was based on the famous astrologer Richard Carrington who in 1853 lived in Redhill. 

The school is part of SESSET (South East Surrey Schools Education Trust) which is made up of ourselves, Therfield School, Leatherhead and The Ashcombe School, Dorking. Mr David Blow is the Executive Headteacher of the Multi Academy Trust. It is a partnership, built on a mutual respect for each other. Within the Trust each school remains autonomous in many decisions made and in their own vision.

Carrington School staff are a team of professionals who dedicate their lives to providing students with a high-quality education. Our core values are Aspire, Innovate and Respect and our aim across the coming year is to ensure that we all live and breathe these so they become embedded into our everyday lives and will support success for everyone. Our students want to learn, however under the new progress measures we were found to be in a position where not every child made expected progress and where in July 2019, were moved into RI by Ofsted. We have been addressing their suggested improvements to ensure that we would be in a strong position to move back to ‘good’ at their next visit.  

The working environment is stimulating and very busy; however, we do try to place importance on coming together regularly. We know how important provision of career opportunities is and will be expecting staff to be ambitious in their own development.

I am looking for people to work in the team with great drive and determination, someone who is not afraid of challenge, who is personable and flexible but overall who has a passion for making improvement for students which will enable them to make better lives for themselves in the future. I am keen to speak with you further should you be interested in a position within our school. Please do feel free to come and visit us if you want to really get an understanding of the work we do.
