The students and their families have bought into this vision. Together we form a friendly and dedicated community.

We take staff wellbeing seriously and can offer you many staff benefits including a Friday staff Breakfast (and onsite gym to help work them off!), a positive work atmosphere and a supportive environment to develop. We also pride ourselves on being a team, all staff are involved with supporting our students whilst onsite and we encourage all staff to enjoy the many activities and clubs we have on offer for both staff (badminton, football and Dungeons & dragons amongst others) and students (DofE, Moseley Plus, Police Cadets amongst others). We have new smart screen boards in every classroom, an extensive whole school CPD program to ensure you can develop in your career and teach your best lessons.
