The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Before making an application for any vacancy, you should familiarise yourself with our Child Protection & Safeguarding, Recruitment and Selection and our Equal Opportunities policies.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. The school may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social-media accounts, as part of their application.
