The successful applicant would join a high achieving and popular department with experienced and highly effective teachers.  The school has a very successful and effective induction programme for new colleagues and applications are welcome from both NQTs as well as more experienced teachers.   We are very ambitious in our aim to transform the lives of young people and create outstanding life chances through educational achievement.  We are looking for an innovative, outstanding teacher to inspire students of all ages and abilities.

Do you have what it takes to realise our dream? Be part of our life transforming team! The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
