  • That people care about me both personally and professionally.
  • The way I am allowed to develop as a practitioner whilst supporting the development of my peers.
  • Being trusted to teach without excessive scrutiny.
  • Love the ethic of work/life balance here with the marking policy etc being modern and reflective of a healthy work/life balance.
  • The whole school feels like a team, it’s not just faculties or year groups or inclusion staff or middle leaders but we ALL work together and contribute to children’s well-being every day.
  • I love my school, there are so many fantastic staff and pupils and I think we are treated incredibly generously.
  • We have more free time to plan and mark than any other teaching staff I know at other schools and we are up to date with things such as modern marking policies.
  • Senior leadership are fair and consistent in their messages, I do not feel I’m ever asked to do something I’m not happy to do and I’m offered lots of opportunities to further myself and am supported in any issues with pupils
