·        Has the ability to teach outstanding lessons across the age range

·        Is committed to raising standards of attainment and developing the success of the faculty

·        Enjoys working as part of a team

·         

In return we will offer you;

·        A professional, hardworking and supportive team of staff with the capability and desire to raise students achievements even further

·        Enthusiastic students who are willing to learn and are proud of their learning environment

·        Opportunities for further professional development
