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.
