  • Ongoing training and professional development

  • A chance to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people

About You

  • A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent)

  • Specialism in English, with flexibility to teach other subjects as needed

  • Patient, creative, and resilient, with a sense of humour and a positive outlook

  • Passionate about inclusive education and meeting the needs of diverse learners

We encourage all interested applicants to visit our school and see first-hand what makes us unique.
