Located in the western fringes of Reading and overlooking the beautiful Thames Valley, our school aims to ensure that all young people develop the knowledge and values to thrive in modern life. We call this ‘success for life’ - where students use their hard work and character values to achieve academic success and develop economic independence, as well as forging positive relationships, supporting their local environment and community, and looking after their own physical and mental health.
We focus specifically on nine CHARACTER values. Three of these focus on personal attributes – Confidence, Happiness and Articulacy. Three focus on perseverance – Resilience, Ambition and Courage. And the final three focus on contributing to others – Tolerance, Empathy and Respect.
Denefield is a happy, vibrant, place to work, where every member of the school team is valued. Outstanding students and outstanding staff are the main reason behind our successful school. This is reflected in our impressive outcomes, with students progressing to top universities including Oxbridge, competitive careers and apprenticeships.
Teaching and support staff are committed, enthusiastic and hard-working, helping ensure students are the best versions of themselves. We understand that the wellbeing of our staff is essential and that they need to feel supported so that they in turn can support our students and ensure that they succeed in life. We would be delighted to welcome you to Denefield.
Denefield is committed to safeguarding, safer recruitment and promoting the welfare of students and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our comprehensive recruitment and selection processes aims to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants. Successful candidates are subject to rigorous pre-employment checks. All short-listed candidates will be subject to online searches and any successful candidates will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and candidates will be required to submit the names of two referees, one of which must be your most recent employer. CVs will not be accepted.
We are equally committed to eliminating
discrimination and encouraging diversity. We aim for our workforce to be
representative of society and that each employee feels respected and able to
give their best. We are committed to providing equality and fairness in our
recruitment and employment practices and not to discriminate on any grounds. We
oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.
