What are we looking for?
We are looking for people committed to our vision: equipping every child with the skills, attributes and academic qualifications so they can go on to enjoy a life of choice and opportunity.
We don’t expect you to be an excellent teacher today, we are looking for people with the ability to grow into one in the future. Being a teacher means you are resourceful, resilient and caring and believe every child is capable of success. You need to want to teach children and young people how to grow into the kinds of adults society needs, while supporting them to excel in your subject.
If you are ready to dive in and make the world a better place, lesson by lesson, get in touch.
