About Us
Dear potential applicant,
I can say, unequivocally, that I am proud to be a member of the St Andrew’s community, and that it is an honour to be the Headteacher of a school filled with so much love.
With significant investments continually being made across the school, we continue to seek opportunities for real innovation and change.
St Andrew’s is a school that has love at its core. You see it in the relationships between staff and students; both in the classrooms and the corridors; and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. I have heard many describe being part of our school community as being like ‘family’; both giving and receiving unrelenting love. Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development.
We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all members of our community, and accept nothing less than an individual’s best. We recognise that we are all unique, with unique training and developmental needs – and we aim to give every staff member the best CPD to enable them to reach their career goals, no matter what that goal may be.
Our Catering Team is led by an experienced chef. We provide a wide range of food and beverage choices to staff and students across a number of food services every day.
The successful candidate will have a positive and solution focused approach, applying a ‘can do’, detail orientated attitude to any potential challenges and a desire to change the lives of young people for the better.
It truly is an exciting time to join St Andrew’s. Whilst considerable growth and progress has been made in recent years, there is still so much impact to be made as the school goes from strength to strength.
I would be delighted to show you around the school and/or offer a chance to meet the team.
To arrange a tour, or a Teams meeting, please contact my PA, Mrs Dalmon, via [email protected] or via telephone: 01903 820676 extension 240.
Finally, thank you for showing a provisional interest in joining our school. I hope you find this pack informative, and that it enables you to begin the process of applying to be a member of our community.
