Welcome and thank you for taking the time to explore job opportunities at our school.

Salendine Nook High School is a vibrant, thriving and progressive part of the Huddersfield community. As Principal, I am incredibly proud and privileged to lead a school with an excellent local reputation and where our staff team are dedicated to providing a high-performing, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all our students.

At Salendine Nook, we believe in fostering a strong sense of belonging and community. We understand that, for our parents, choosing the right secondary school is a significant decision, and we are confident that our school offers a place where young people can flourish academically, socially, and personally.  We are committed to maximising the progress and achievement for every student.

Our commitment to being a high-performing school is reflected in our ambitious curriculum and our dedication to academic excellence. We have high expectations for every student, and our knowledgeable, experienced and committed staff work tirelessly to support them in achieving their unique potential. We celebrate aspiration, unity, and achievement in all its forms, encouraging our students to set goals and strive for their very best.

Inclusivity and nurture are at the heart of everything we do. We are a caring school where relationships are paramount. We take the time to get to know our students as individuals, providing outstanding pastoral support to ensure their wellbeing and happiness. We believe that by creating a supportive and understanding environment, we empower our students to become resilient, confident, and engaged learners. We encourage teamwork and collaboration, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

We demand the highest standards in behaviour and attitude for all our students and support from our parents is highly valued; we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is crucial to a child's success, and we work closely with families to ensure every student is effectively supported.

As a proud member of the Heritage Multi Academy Trust, we work collaboratively with our partner primary schools in the local area. Through our strong partnerships we ensure strong transitions and our close working relationships foster the shared values of collaboration and excellence.  

As a member of our team here at Salendine Nook High School, you will benefit from a strong  focus on your wellbeing.  Whilst we expect the very best delivery of lessons, care and guidance for our students, we believe this is underpinned by happy staff, who feel valued and cared for.  We offer many advantages, such as above average PPA time and a flexible working period for teaching staff and the opportunity to earn TOIL for all staff.  All of our wellbeing initiatives can be found on our vacancies section of our website.  Further to this we invest in staff training to always ensure we are abreast of the latest educational thinking, strategies and technologies. We firmly believe that Salendine Nook High School is a place where both students and staff can thrive, and we look forward to the possibility of welcoming you into our school family.
