Since September 2024, all permanent staff at Highcrest have benefitted from a 9‑day working fortnight. The concept is simple: you attend work for nine days and get paid for ten. The tenth day is your dedicated ‘Reset Day’ — time away from school to catch up on your to‑do list, recharge, and invest in your well‑being. This is in addition to your statutory PPA time.

Staff feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Colleagues return from their reset day feeling more energised, less overwhelmed, and better able to manage the demands of school life. Many also enjoy the extra flexibility, reduced travel time, and cost savings.

On top of this, we offer:

• Exceptional investment in your professional development
• The potential for on‑site accommodation if you’re relocating
• First‑class facilities, including a well‑equipped gym, excellent canteen, and a welcoming coffee shop

The ability to teach a little Computer Science would be an advantage.
