The Harpur Trust
About The Harpur Trust
Our four independent schools offer outstanding educational opportunities, led by dedicated and specialist staff who will inspire, challenge and encourage your child to be a successful individual with a passion for learning, both in and out of the classroom.
Our schools are renowned for their educational opportunities and we are proud of their impressive track records. You can discover more about each of our schools on their websites, but nothing beats exploring the opportunities, atmosphere and facilities in person.
As an organisation we have a big responsibility; we’re here to inspire and develop the next generation and support our borough to be a positive place for everyone living and working here.
To do that, we need talented, professional, committed people with diverse voices, cultures and experience. We look for people who are passionate about what they do, and who care about improving the lives of others.
We pride ourselves on providing a positive culture for all staff and we celebrate diversity in our workforce, recognising the wealth of ideas and experience that a diverse workforce can bring.
Joining our team means working for a people-focused organisation which does great things in and for our community.
