Wisbech Grammar School (WGS) is a successful, independent co-educational school located near the centre of the historic town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire on a green site of 44 acres, beside the River Nene. Offering a broad, high-quality education with excellent pastoral care for around 590 children aged 3-18, the school is a day school but, in recent years, has started to take a limited number of boarders, mainly from the Far East.
Wisbech Grammar School has a long tradition of developing individual talent and encouraging high aspirations. The school is innovative and forward-looking, combining a strong focus on academic excellence with a rich co-curricular programme to enable pupils to ‘discover who they are’ and unlock their potential in a school with a strong sense of community.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a high-performing, experienced and ambitious teaching professional to be a key part of the senior team.
