About This Role
We are seeking an ambitious and highly dedicated, enthusiastic and energetic Lead Practitioner with a real passion for learning and teaching, to join our successful Learning and Teaching department.
Whilst we already have very high levels of academic success, with excellent exam outcomes in Key Stages 4 and 5, we remain restless for further improvement. Our overriding ambition is to be an exceptional school, characterised by high expectations, inclusion and anti-racism.

We expect every one of our students to be a change-maker, with an uncompromising commitment to social justice.

We are a traditional school with a traditional approach to the curriculum and behaviour. Most importantly, we are a happy school, where children from a wide mixture of backgrounds thrive and flourish on a daily basis. We are delighted that Ofsted recognised these things when they visited us in May 2022.
