Staff benefits

Every school is unique and ours is no exception. One of our unique selling points is the relatively high average length of service of our staff, and relatively low rate of staff turnover. Neither of these are by chance and are the product of staff feeling trusted, empowered and recognised for leading the roles they do. We feel that a mark of the outstanding school we are is symbolised by the number of staff who choose to send their children to be educated with us.

Below is a list of just some of the ‘pull factors’ that contribute to making our school a great place to work:

• An allocation of three, paid staff wellbeing days, where employees are not required to be in school.
• Access to a beautiful property at below market rent situated a short distance from our school (subject to availability/waiting list)
• Commitment to staff wellbeing through a variety of internal practices, designed to recruit and retain the very best staff.
• Complimentary use of the school sports facilities, fitness suite and swimming pool (timetable in place).
• Comprehensive range of staff social events throughout the year.
