Why work at Aureus School?
Our Town
Whatever your job, the environment you are in makes a massive difference to the quality of your life. Didcot town is known for its railway museum and power stations, and is the gateway town to the Science Vale: three large science and technology centres in surrounding villages including Milton Park, Culham Science Centre and Harwell Science and Innovation Campus which includes the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The UK government named Didcot a garden town in 2015, the first existing town to gain this status, providing funding to support sustainable and environmentally friendly town development over the coming 15 years.
Didcot is noted for its railway heritage and has excellent links to Oxford, Reading and London. With it’s growing population, fantastic transport links and accessibility to the science centres, Didcot is a great place to work.
Our closest city, Oxford, has one of the fastest growing populations in the UK and remains the most ethnically diverse area in Oxfordshire county. The influx of migrant labour to the car plants and hospitals, recent immigration from south Asia, and a large student population, have given Oxford a notably cosmopolitan character and it is one of the most diverse small cities in Britain.
