Headteacher

Mrs Nicola Caley MEd, NPQH, NPQEL

Murray Park School is a rewarding and professionally stimulating place to work. Over the last 3 years we have undergone a journey of rapid improvement; moving from a Requires Improvement Ofsted grading to Good in September 2022, along with a Progress 8 improvement of 0.64 to 0 from the 2019 figure, as well as now being over-subscribed. Never complacent, we are now on our next stage of development and seek high-quality staff to enable this.

Staff at Murray Park School benefit from:

  • A positive approach to flexible working for all staff.
  • A Senior Leadership Team who prioritise staff well-being and consider this when launching any new systems or pedagogical approaches.
    • A robust and centralised behaviour system, including an internal Alternative Provision, to ensure learning in our classrooms is disruption free.
    • A whole-school CPD package which includes the sharing of recent research and best-practice.
    • An approach to pedagogy which ensures teachers teach the highest-quality lessons possible, whilst still allowing teachers the freedom to maintain professional autonomy.
