Supplementary Information Form (pdf)

If you have any difficulty downloading the supplementary information form, please contact the school or the Trust HR office to request a hard copy by post.

 

3. Letter

An accompanying letter of support written to the Principal, maximum two sides of A4 font 12, addressing the following points:

  • why you are interested in this post and how you have prepared yourself so far
  • what contributions you feel you can make to pupils’ development within our school
  • any particular areas of strength and expertise you feel you may have

 

Please ensure you send us all three documents as outlined above. We will be unable to process applications with missing elements.

References

On the application form you are asked to nominate two referees, one of whom must be your present employer. Close relatives are not accepted as referees, and two referees from the same school or organisation will not be accepted.

The process of calling for references is an important element of Safer Recruitment and therefore applications with nominated referees that do not meet the above rules will be rejected. Please take care to make sure your referees will be acceptable.

 

Sending your application

Each school processes applications for their own vacancies. Please email your application to the address specified in the job pack with a clear reference to the post you are applying for in the subject line.

If you are unable to email your application, you may post your application to the school with the envelope clearly marked with the post you are applying for. The postal address for the school is listed in the job pack and on the school's website.

If you choose to send your application by more than one method, then please indicate this on each copy that you send.

 

Criminal Records Self-Disclosure

If you are shortlisted for interview, you will be asked to complete a criminal records self-disclosure form. You should not send us the form unless you have been shortlisted. Further information and guidance are available here.

 

Online Searches

In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022, as part of the shortlisting process we will carry out an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted candidates.
