Our lively, friendly school is out on the edge of Dorking, bordering the beautiful Nower woodland.  We pride ourselves on offering children a diverse and exciting curriculum with plenty of opportunities to explore wide-ranging topics, nurture new skills, indulge interests or advance personal strengths. 

We aren't afraid to do things differently at Powell Corderoy. An education to prepare children for life in a constantly-evolving modern world means taking risks, pushing boundaries and asking questions. As a school this is how we operate, and we expect our children to do the same.

Our unique curriculum prioritises self-development, community contribution and global responsibility, enhanced by the integration of opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. Whether immersed in nature in our on-site Forest School, leading a team as part of a class business enterprise, conducting their own research in our school library or achieving a personal best on the running track for their Daily Mile - we have high expectations of all children. 

This means we want every child at Powell Corderoy to feel welcome, to feel valued, to feel seen, heard and listened to, to feel their needs are met and to feel they belong and contribute to our school community. In doing so, they will develop the confidence to pursue their goals, to strive for excellence and to face challenges with resilience.

Our shared values are what unite us.

We use them to guide our attitudes and behaviours as we live and learn together. The Powell Corderoy School values, which we promote alongside the broader British Values, are:

• Courage
• Friendship
• Appreciation
• Perseverance
• Compassion
• Responsibility

We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons.

We value the diversity of thought, belief and background in our community that enables the school to be effective at challenging accepted norms and resilient in the face of continual change.

We aspire to a fully inclusive culture. We strive to offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements and inclusive facilities to support our staff.
