It’s impossible to overstate the difference that a good teacher can make in a child’s life. You will be the person to set pupils on the road to success. You will be the person to see a struggling pupil’s eyes light up when they realise for the first time that, yes, they really can do this.

With a good teacher, a child whose family has always been wary of school can discover the joy of learning. With a good teacher, a child battling low self-esteem can begin to recognise their own potential.

Every single adult in a school has the potential to transform lives for the better. That’s why talented people are our lifeblood. We could not do what we do without you. Our ambition to give every one of our pupils the best possible start in life means nothing without the teachers and teaching assistants in our classrooms, and the senior leaders and admin teams in the school office. We attract dynamic people, and we give our team members the space to reimagine what’s possible. That’s why your career is as important to us as it is to you. We want you to develop, we want you to grow, and we want you to feel valued.

We believe every child deserves the best education possible, regardless of background, geography or ability. We want to see them fulfil their potential - at school and beyond.
