· A wellbeing culture, with paid and unpaid time off to support life events via our Life Leave Policy, access to a Wellbeing Champion and the opportunity to participate in our annual staff wellbeing survey with Edurio, so we know and can respond to views.

· Access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which includes confidential counselling, access to wellbeing advice and a lifestyle app called "My Possible Self".

· Access to a suite of supportive policies, such as Life Leave, Wellbeing, Career Break and Family Friendly.

· Generous annual leave entitlement based on length of service, starting at 30 days pro-rata, rising to 33 at 5 years' plus service and 35 following 10 years' plus service. This excludes an additional 2-week paid compulsory closure at Christmas, for which additional days' leave are gained.

· Onsite parking at all schools.
