The School is set in a stunning rural location in West Yorkshire. It benefits from a sense of peace and space, yet is sufficiently close to York, Harrogate, Leeds and Sheffield to offer the best of both worlds. The pupils at this all-through School are its most attractive feature. They are lively, curious and spectacularly kind to one another, with a strong sense of social justice and inclination to stretch themselves athletically; creatively; culturally and socially.

The successful applicant will be expected to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including the completion of a DBS disclosure and reference checks with former employers.
