At Sir Graham Balfour we offer:
* A friendly, well-motivated staff, who embrace willingly a culture of professional development.
* An ever-growing reputation in the local community which has resulted in the school being consistently oversubscribed in an area where student rolls are falling.
* A very positive climate for learning.
* A first-rate learning environment.
* We are housed in buildings completed in 2002 and financed via a PFI initiative.
* Innovative 14-19 collaboration and an increasing roll at KS5.
* A commitment to inclusive practice.
Please note:
* All applicants will be submitted for an enhanced DBS check.
* Applications will only be accepted if submitted on the enclosed formal application form.
* Two references will be required, one of which must be from your most recent employer. In the case of teachers, one reference must come from your most recent headteacher.
* Once a written reference has been received, we will contact the referee by telephone to confirm the provenance of that reference.
* If shortlisted, online searches will be carried out, in order to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened and are publicly available online, which the school might want to explore with the applicant at interview.
* In addition, at interview, applicants will be asked if they have ever been involved in any form of media or activity which would make them unsuitable to work with children and young people, or, if it came to light, might risk the reputation of the school in the eyes of the community or wider public.
* If shortlisted, we will request a portrait photo of you to attach to your file and to help confirm your identity.
* If appointed, the successful applicant will be informed that the appointment is subject to satisfactory completion of the following checks: the right to work in the UK, qualifications requirements, satisfactory DBS Enhanced Disclosure, the Criminal Record Self-Declaration Form, teacher prohibition and barred list checks, pre-employment medical screening and satisfactory references (if not already received).
