Job overview
We are a long-established 11-16 co-ed secondary school serving a diverse community in North East Hampshire. Our students are lively, enthusiastic and keen to learn. They have positively embraced the many changes that the school has undergone since September 2014.

- Contribute to the education debate and in conjunction with other local education providers and local agencies (including the local education authority) work towards establishing a local solution which will meet the challenges which schools face in the coming years
- Develop their own professional skills and knowledge and use these both for the benefit of the school and wider education
The IEB have an uncompromising vision for the future of the school and its pupils focussed on continuing to raise the standards of teaching and learning so that all teaching is consistently at least good or outstanding and outcomes for all pupils at least meet or exceed national expectations.
