Teaching Careers

Welcome

Welcome to Greenshaw High School

Thank you for taking an interest in a vacancy at Greenshaw High School. I hope that you find these pages a useful source of information about our school.

I have been at Greenshaw as Deputy Head and subsequently Headteacher for over 9 years and am committed to working to support every young person that joins us.

Words are not enough to represent the energy and commitment of the school at work or the enthusiasm of young people gaining confidence and success. Nevertheless, we hope we can provide enough information for you to sense the flavour of what Greenshaw has to offer young people, their families and the staff that work with us.

At Greenshaw, we have a tradition of combining both high expectations for all our pupils and a curriculum that is forward looking and appropriate to the needs of the 21st century. Throughout its history Greenshaw has been popular with parents of children of all abilities and there continues to be a large demand for places.

We are proud of our success as a genuine comprehensive school and of our reputation for providing a challenging secondary education within a happy and caring environment. This is built firmly upon a belief in the importance of establishing a strong partnership between home and school.

During recent years, over £4 million pounds has been invested in the School, providing additional specialist accommodation. We look forward to an exciting future as Greenshaw develops its roles as a Specialist and Associate Training School.

I am incredibly proud of my staff who are the most important resource we have. We provide continuous opportunities for development for all of our teaching and support staff through collaboration and the sharing of good practice.

Thank you for taking the time to consider the vacancy we have and I hope to receive an application from you.

Mr W Smith
Headteacher
