Job overview

This is a great opportunity to contribute to the building of a friendly, committed, successful and vibrant team. This post will offer opportunities to teach at all levels and to all abilities; consequently we will be looking to appoint someone with significant qualities and great potential.

We’re immensely proud of our commitment to the highest quality teaching and learning coupled with extraordinary pastoral care. We are a truly comprehensive community in which every child is cared for, supported and stretched, moving on to diverse destinations, from local apprenticeships and college courses to highly selective universities.

Building on our long successful history, we launched our sister school in September 2017 creating a small multi-academy trust of our 2 schools, the Lunesdale Learning Trust. Within this context we can offer ample opportunities for professional development enabling you to fulfil your potential in our high performing, forward thinking community; including an established mentoring and coaching offer.
