Join our team!

Our belief is rooted in the notion that delivering exceptional, learner-centred services hinges upon the ability to innovate, take individual ownership, and make sound judgement calls. To achieve this, we aim to cultivate an environment that fosters creativity – a vital component in cultivating the desired behaviours that drive our provision's success.

Throughout a career with us, you will pick up on 4 important themes:

Our values define us

See our Visions & Values here.
We actively seek out staff members who align with our provision's culture and values. During the hiring process, we prioritise behaviour and values over qualifications in adherence to relevant legal regulations. This approach is of utmost importance to us, as it contributes significantly to the positive atmosphere of our environment.

Our distinct cultural identity sets us apart and serves as a driving force behind the positive feedback and recognition we have received from the educational communities we engage with.

We have faith in your potential

As our community expands, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where you can freely explore and excel, without unnecessary constraints. We recognise that this approach not only draws in exceptional individuals but also retains those who flourish within our distinctive ethos. You won't find an overly prescriptive handbook or an abundance of rigid HR regulations here – rather, you'll discover helpful insights to guide you through various situations. We selected you to join our team due to your exceptional capabilities.

You are unique!

We believe in recognising and celebrating the distinct contributions each of you brings to our community. Your roles, sources of inspiration, training needs, and career trajectories are all diverse and specific to you. Our approach is centred around embracing your individuality and avoiding the standardised, one-size-fits-all HR practices. We value what sets you apart and strive to create an environment that supports your uniqueness.

Personal responsibility

We deeply understand the significance of assuming personal responsibility, both in terms of your health and well-being, as well as your performance within the environment. We are hopeful that you will wholeheartedly engage in this endeavour. Challenge your own boundaries, present us with hurdles to overcome, actively seek constructive feedback, embrace growth opportunities, and seize every moment that comes your way. Don't hesitate to voice your thoughts if something is on your mind.

We can only accept applications that are made using our application form.
We are committed to providing positive academic, social and emotional outcomes for our children, underpinned by a strong safeguarding ethos. We follow Safer Recruitment procedures and all interviews, regardless of role, will include questions about approaches to safeguarding. Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy is available on our website and follows all guidance in the most recent Keeping Children Safe in Education.
We are equally committed to the welfare of our staff, who are expected to adhere to the highest standards of professional behaviour to maintain confidence and respect of the general public and colleagues. All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, amendments to the Exception Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
Please note that by submitting an application, you acknowledge that we reserve the right to view any publicly available information published online (including social media platforms) as part of our shortlisting process, in line with current KCSIE guidelines.
