Fearnhill is a great place to work because we value every member of the school community. The relationships that exist between students and staff are strong and the school is typically a happy environment. We care about reducing teacher workload so that teachers have time for a life outside of work. For example, we have no written marking, no written reports, fewer data cycles, no formal lesson observations, no appraisal targets and centralized detentions to ensure teachers’ time is not wasted.
We recognise that poor behaviour makes teaching an unpleasant experience and prevents students from learning. We have high expectations of our students and effectively hold them to account when their behaviour falls below these standards. As a result, teachers are well respected and lessons are rarely disrupted.
Finally, we prioritise high quality professional development for our teachers. We take pride in our shared knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning and support our staff to develop their expertise and grow in confidence as professionals.
