This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at the beginning of its journey as part of Scholars’ Education Trust.

SET was founded in 2012, and consists of over 10 schools across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We are a cross phase trust providing a high-quality education for nearly ten thousand children between the ages of 3 and 18. Within our family of schools we have nurseries and first school, primaries, an all-through school, secondaries and an extended secondary.

We are a diverse community of schools whose vision is to work collaboratively together to provide the young people in our care with the knowledge, skills and qualities they need to make a positive difference in the world.  We want all our pupils and staff to feel included, valued and supported, so that they are able to achieve more than they ever believed possible.  Our schools will be schools of choice in their local areas, the wellbeing of our staff will be protected and our pupils will become scholars who are able to meet the challenges of the changing world – whatever those may be.

We reserve the right to make an appointment before the closing date, so early applications are encouraged.

Diversity: Scholars’ Education Trust is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We want to attract and retain the very best staff in all areas of the Trust, ensuring our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community.
