We welcome applications from not just experienced staff but also those who are new to the teaching profession. Developing and supporting colleagues is central to our recruitment ethos.

Colleagues wishing to train as a teacher apply through UCAS.  SHS currently works with Deepings SCITT and UEA. Students apply through UCAS to these providers and are given an initial interview and then directed to schools who offer placements in the appropriate subject areas. We are currently able to take placements in a number of subjects including English, maths, science, MFL (French and Spanish), history, geography and PE.
