Starting September 2025

This could not be a more exciting time to join our school. In September 2025, we will be rebranding to become Islip Manor High School, and in February 2026, we will move into our brand new school building, currently under construction at one end of our large school site. After that, the current buildings will be demolished to create additional sports grounds. Follow us on Instagram for updates on our new building.

Islip Manor High School's Vision is to Inspire Bright Futures by Building Strong Foundations, Upholding High Standards, and Empowering Our Students' Growth. Our five core values are:

• Creative: We embrace risks, solve problems, and turn ideas into reality.
• Collaborative: We work together to create a respectful and supportive environment.
• Courageous: We face challenges with resilience and optimism.
• Confident: We trust in our skills and abilities.

We are a Foundation School in Ealing, collaborating through the Ealing Learning Partnership and supported by Sycol to promote systemic improvement and leadership development. Our Computer Science department currently includes three teachers, delivering GCSE and A Level courses, with high student popularity. As part of our new build, we will equip the department with the latest AI desktops for a state-of-the-art environment.

You will be committed to:

• Ensuring outstanding progress and attainment.
• Participating in innovation projects for school-wide improvement.
• Promoting your department within the school community.

We Offer:

• Support and training for career development.
• Opportunities to innovate and contribute ideas.
• A caring, supportive environment with early Friday finishes for work/life balance.
• A well-structured school calendar prioritizing staff workload.
• High-quality professional development opportunities.
• Flexible working arrangements, including part-time options.

Our Recruitment Process:

We are committed to diversity and reducing bias through a 'blind' selection process, where demographic details are not shared with interview panels. We aim to match our staff profile to our student demographics, especially increasing representation from underrepresented ethnic groups.

Safeguarding is paramount. Successful candidates will undergo safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS clearance. More info at Gov UK DBS info.
