“Staff feel very well supported by senior leaders. According to staff, they feel valued because senior leaders are approachable. They respond positively when staff raise issues with them. Staff and leaders work together to find solutions, particularly if staff are concerned about their workload.” OFSTED, March 2020.

At The Highcrest Academy, we put the safety and well-being of our children at the forefront of everything that we do. With this in mind, every post at The Highcrest Academy bring you into contact with children and therefore you, will be required to undergo an DBS Enhanced (including Barred List) Check before taking up your role. These checks will include details of convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, which you may have received, even if they are regarded as ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You will also be asked (where appropriate) to let us know immediately of any changes in your circumstances which will have an impact on your criminal record.

If you’re thinking of applying to us here at Highcrest, it is worth noting that every member of the aforementioned leadership team is still in position.
