  • An outstanding ‘Teaching school standard’ professional development programme for staff at all stages of their career.

  • A staff social and sporting committee who promote regular opportunities for well-being and team building.

We are looking to appoint a highly skilled and dedicated leader who is able to inspire students to achieve their very best at a personal and academic level.
