Be it ourselves as staff or our students, we believe in being the best in ourselves so that we can bring positive solutions to make the world a better place. In an ever-changing world we aim to keep moving forward and to be part of the positive solutions...
We look after our staff here, using coaching and joint collaboration model for improving professional practice and pedagogy. Middle and senior leaders work hard to support staff with behaviour management to ensure you have the skills and support to teach without interruption. We see professional development for all associate and teaching staff as the foundations of our success. Whatever post you are applying for, you will be incredibly well supported in your professional development to become an outstanding practitioner. We are highly regarded by ITT providers for the quality of training that we offer to colleagues at the beginning of their careers, and for more experienced colleagues, professional development is a key priority; colleagues are frequently promoted after working with us. Associate staff are equally supported to develop their professional practice, with industry ‘gold standard’ accreditations, and we have a stable staffing with low annual turnover.
Harlington School has a responsibility for, and is committed to, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and young people, and ensuring that they are protected from harm. All positions are subject to an enhanced DBS check and we take pride in being an equal opportunities employer.
Harlington has undergone significant transformational change over the last few years coupled with significant improvement in progress outcomes and examination results. Anticipating moving into our new building in November 2023 (phase 1/2), we are a happy, successful and popular oversubscribed school, with waiting lists in every year group. Much of this has been due to the successful inclusive culture fostered over many years by the staff and students at Harlington.
Our teaching and student facing staff aim to deliver quality first teaching approaches that builds both the keys to successful academic outcomes alongside the stability and resilience to thrive as an independent successful contributing adult. Our associate staff work tirelessly to deliver a professional, outstanding quality of practice with the students at the heart of their work, understanding that regardless of role our priority always remains the safety, wellbeing and improving the life chances of our students. It is these common goals and the ability to see challenges as opportunities rather than barriers that enables our collective and unified response, built over many years of dedication to the students of our Harlington School community.
Where we support, coach and promote successfully from within, we are also in the position to recruit transformational staff who can support, build on and enable our continued growth and change. We look for individuals with the capacity and drive to succeed, see solutions rather than problems, and are glass half full individuals with the ability to recognise that regardless of role, our students are paramount and that they have solutions to enable a better tomorrow.
We work hard, but the rewards are immense. We aim to maintain a work life balance so that in protecting each other we enable us to be at our best professionally and committed in the time we are here. We have a supportive culture where staff wellbeing is augmented by our commitment in constant improvement to keep moving forward.
