If you have the commitment to transform children’s lives then take a look at our latest vacancies.

Within the school and across the trust, staff are given support and encouragement to progress in their career. This has led to a motivated and committed staff team. Those staff who responded to the Ofsted survey unanimously stated that they were proud to be part of this organisation.
