Maritime was created around an idea, that education should be meaningful, children should love learning and that everyone who works with us should feel they make an impact.
We want to develop children who are happy, resilient and confident to give things a go. Children who are getting memorable experiences, in fantastic schools and classrooms. We can help them achieve outstanding results to set them up for the next stage in their lives by having dynamic teachers and support staff who love their work and working together. We want to work with like-minded people who share our vision and values and believe that every child is entitled to a phenomenal education.
