In addition to the confidence that comes from working with a motivated and knowledgeable team, we are proud to be a school with a real focus on the wellbeing of the staff who work for us. We offer a BUPA cash back plan as well as initiatives such as an annual additional term-time privilege day off and other initiatives such as staff wellbeing breakfasts to ensure that our staff feel valued and supported.
