Teaching Opportunities
For September, we require an inspirational and dedicated expert practitioner to teach English as they look to progress further in their journey to excellence. The post is suitable for either an experienced practitioner, looking for the opportunity to develop further professionally, or an Early Career Teacher who will receive a bespoke support package, designed in collaboration with the expert colleagues already existing within the team. Part time would also be considered.
Learning Environment
Our classrooms are happy learning environments, and we facilitate a growth mind set in our pupils, modelled by our ambitious, progressive staff body who benefit from an evidence-informed CPD package which is at the pinnacle of pedagogical development.
Future Transfer
Compass Education Trust is currently engaged in discussions which are expected to result in the transfer of all schools to Harris Federation with effect from 1 September 2026. Any employment commencing from 1 September 2026 will not be directly impacted under TUPE, but if the proposed transfer proceeds, it is anticipated that your employment will commence with Harris Federation rather than Compass Education Trust. Further details will be discussed at the interview stage.
Safeguarding
The school is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share in this commitment.
