If this strikes a chord with you, then we would love to hear from you!

Our family of schools currently consists of one all-through school, three secondary schools, one with a sixth form, and one primary school. While each school holds its own unique identity, we work together collectively to achieve our mission to provide ‘Life in all its fullness’ through the highest quality education, training, and outcomes for all.

• Is confident in liaising with a variety of staff at all levels.
• Demonstrates personal resilience and role models those personal qualities we wish to instil in our young people.
