Chilmington Green School

17/05/2024

United Learning is delighted to have opened a new school in Ashford. Chilmington Green School is a new secondary school which opened in September 2023 with its first cohort of 120 Year 7 students. At capacity, the school will be a six-form entry, co-educational, non-selective secondary with a 240-place 6th form.

We are currently looking for excellent, highly motivated staff, with the vision and aspiration to be part of a school from its opening through to its first A-level results day. We aim to bring to life the United Learning ethos of the Best in Everyone through a curriculum, culture, environment, and structure that provides an exceptional educational offer for local young people. Staff will form a dynamic team who are supportive, friendly, and dedicated to instilling pride, respect, and resilience in the next generation of children, preparing them for successful, fulfilling, and enjoyable adult lives.

Chilmington Green will work collaboratively with United Learning’s cluster of highly successful schools in the area, including Wye School (a free school for 11-18-year-olds) and Ashford School (an independent, all-through, and boarding school). As a result, staff will benefit from richer and wider opportunities for continued professional development (CPD).

Chilmington Green School is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life-changing education to children and young people across England. United Learning is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
