We empower our teachers as trusted professionals. You can be yourself, learn, and develop your unique teaching practice.

Do you aspire to lead a team of trusted, creative, and innovative professionals?

We take pride in our record of developing exceptional teachers and leaders.

Furthermore, nine middle leaders have successfully transitioned to senior leadership roles.

Our well-resourced maths department has consistently achieved strong GCSE results, demonstrating year-on-year progress. The department is now poised to build on these outcomes and set the standard for excellence in mathematics across Surrey and Nationally.
