We have appointed highly motivated, dynamic support staff, teachers and leaders who deliver exciting learning every lesson, every day, so that all our students reach their full potential and secure first class destinations.

In April 2022 we moved into our brand new building and have now expanded to eight forms of entry for the current year 7. Our sixth form opened in September 2022. Stone Lodge School works closely with our partner Grammar schools and primary school in Endeavour MAT. We have a shared purpose to work together to support the young people in all of our schools to lead successful lives. The school is heavily oversubscribed and is very popular, with staff, students and parents.

We are excited to be expanding and welcoming further opportunities to join our existing staff team. At a time of exciting growth within the school, we are seeking to appoint an individual to join our Senior Leadership Team who has relevant leadership experience, a positive attitude and who is used to implementing high impact to help to scale up the excellence already in place at Stone Lodge.

As well as offering you a competitive salary with pay progression opportunities, you will also be working in a brand-new purpose-built setting with great facilities and with a team of talented, engaged and motivated colleagues. Our common values of respect, integrity, determination, equality of opportunity and self-management help instil a strong work ethic among staff and students alike and our supportive culture provides what many of our existing staff describe as a ‘family feel’ within our Trust.
