Employment is with Corvus Learning Trust and not Bracknell Forest Council.  The trust is very popular and for most posts a large number of applications are received - it is thus not possible to notify all applicants of the outcome.  Please accept that if you have not heard within three weeks of the closing date then, unfortunately, your application has been unsuccessful - in which case we offer our best wishes for the future.
