'The best education today for the women of tomorrow'

Mrs. H Shorrock

Principal

At Burntwood School, we deliver the best education today for the women of tomorrow. Our vision is an exceptional education for every girl, supported by expert teachers and world-class facilities to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to meet the challenges of the modern world. 

In our most recent OFSTED inspection (February 2025), inspectors noted significant improvements across all areas, stating that “pupils receive an exceptional education” and “staff are proud to work at the school and feel well supported, and say leaders are considerate of their workload.” We were previously graded “Good” in our January 2020 inspection

We are looking to recruit ambitious, reflective and forward-thinking teachers who believe in the power of education to transform young women’s lives. The teachers who thrive at Burntwood are strong role models: they set high expectations, champion inclusion and inspire students to fully utilise their education. Relationships are at the heart of our practice. We value teachers who prioritise relational approaches, build trust and create classrooms where students feel secure, confident and ready to learn.

Burntwood offers excellent opportunities for professional development and career progression within a highly stable, collaborative teaching community. We are committed to investing in our staff and supporting colleagues to grow and flourish at every stage of their career. 

We welcome enthusiastic individuals, keen to be part of the next stage of Burntwood's journey, to become part of our community.
