We value our teachers and we actively support their professional development. You will have access to on-going professional development including National College accredited courses. A level teaching may also be available for a suitable candidate. If you are looking to extend your experience or are in the early years of teaching and would be interested in joining our team, we would be delighted to hear from you.  We offer an extremely attractive and very competitive financial package.

We are a happy and ambitious school, excited about the future of education and determined to become ‘outstanding’. If you are an imaginative and energetic practitioner and want to make a difference to the life-chances of all the students in your care then this could be the post for you.

The Howard School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
