The Blackdown Education Partnership is a newly formed trust created by the merger of two founding trusts which shared some important similar values. Put simply, we believe that collaboration, partnership working and sharing our best ideas will enable us to deliver on our mission.

• To nurture and develop the ambition, talents and interests of every child.
• To break down the barriers that inhibit the opportunities and achievements of disadvantaged pupils so that they can go on to lead lives of choice and opportunity.
• To create a family of schools that are deeply and purposefully connected to their communities.

We take staff wellbeing seriously and take active steps to reduce workload. We have a wellbeing offer which includes up to two paid personal days per year, an employee assist programme and discounted gym membership at some of our bigger schools. We are always willing to consider flexible working requests and job-shares and pride ourselves on a family friendly approach across our schools.

The best resource we can provide for pupils is highly skilled, happy and fulfilled staff.

Blackdown Education Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
