Career Opportunities

Employing the right teachers is of paramount importance to us and our recruitment procedures are rigorous. At a time when many schools are struggling to find good staff we have never found this a problem. We have a number of long-standing very committed members of staff who find that we provide them with a good working environment, including regular training and fresh challenges, which assists staff retention. Secondly, in the rare event that there is a vacancy we usually have several candidates on file who have written to ask for a job should one become available.

We have been awarded Investor in People status which speaks volumes about our approach to people management; some quotes from the report are featured in this prospectus. To work successfully at Danesfield Manor School our teachers must love teaching and really enjoy being with children. They must be interesting people, highly motivated and flexible team players who have a thirst for life and a good sense of humour. We expect our teachers to go the extra mile and not confine their work to the hours that the children are with them. Each teacher spends an equal amount of hours in preparation, attending meetings and training sessions.
