Our Ideal School Culture
We would welcome the chance to work in a school characterised by laughter; where relationships with staff, pupils and their families are authentic, supportive and respectful. We would like to go to school each day knowing that risk taking is encouraged; comforted in the knowledge that there is a team there to catch us if we should stumble. We would like to work in a school where success is valued and celebrated; one where we are empowered to challenge each other to succeed. We would like this school to be a place of work that embodies fun and where collegiality prevails. We would like to work in a school that listens to concerns and then acts, whilst not losing sight of maintaining its high expectations. We would like to be part of a team that examines, questions and reflects. We would like to go to work each day knowing that diversity is encouraged and celebrated. We would like to work in a school where everyone genuinely wants to be there; a school that is filled with those who choose to be there because of the difference they could make to themselves and others.
