What the school offers its staff
Our Secondary School is a heavily oversubscribed Academy that constantly achieves outstanding outcomes for its students. We lead a family of schools as part of the Kemnal Academies Trust, providing exceptional career progression and bespoke CPD experiences for our staff, which has led to our middle and senior leadership teams being composed of many teachers who began their career with us.
You will be training through the ‘School Direct’ system, which is an employment-based route into teaching for high quality graduates, leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and the option ofa PGCE qualification. You will be employed by the school and the training programme will also take place on the school premises. Trainees will work alongside highly qualified and inspiring teachers to provide a range of teaching and learning support. Once qualified, we also offer an ECT Programme, valuable mentoring opportunities and support to progress into a Leadership role and beyond.
