It is situated at the edge of Hemel Hempstead, serving a diverse demographic, within easy access of the M1/M25 and the train station. The school is proud to be part of the Government's Priority School Building Programme, which has increased cohort numbers and raised our community profile. We have state‑of‑the‑art facilities including a leisure centre, swimming pool and new science laboratory/classrooms benefiting staff, students and the wider community.

We are looking for an experienced and committed Teaching Assistant to join our established SEND team.
