What the school offers its staff

The leadership of the school is committed to trusting in the professionalism of all its staff. We offer a high level of autonomy so that curriculum areas and individual teachers are trusted to determine what they believe is the best, most enriching and challenging curriculum for our students as well as constantly reflecting on the best pedagogical approach to deliver on that ambition. We promote the fact that this should all be a collective endeavour and that it’s teams working together that achieve the best results. In return the leadership of the school will look to ensure that we all maintain a calm and orderly environment, that teachers can teach and that the training in school is designed to maximise professional development and help in the maintenance of our high standards.

At a leadership level we are all committed to the values of ethical leadership and to applying this to every aspect of school life. Every member of the school community should feel able to speak to anyone else on a professional level and that their concern or question will be listened to, acknowledged and acted upon. As a consequence of this approach, morale amongst the staff is high as we encourage them to seek professional joy and value working here. The school will benefit from a new build due to open in 2027, but the heart of any school is not its bricks and mortar but the people who work there, something we recognise and celebrate.
