STAFF TESTIMONIALS

"I like working at SNHS because of the TLR opportunities available to staff. One of the greatest things I enjoy about working at SNHS are the House competitions. The camaraderie and fun we can have with students outside of the classroom makes the teacher-student bond stronger."

Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages

"Our school has made rapid progress over the last few years. Expectations of staff and students are high yet perfectly reasonable. The leadership team challenges and supports which drives improvement. In my department, we have made huge changes to our curriculum and made significant investment in equipment and resources, helping us on our journey to deliver a truly first class education. All this being said, there is also a strong sense of getting the work - life balance right from our Leadership Team and this is really important for the sustainability of teachers."

Teacher of D&T, Engineering

"The support from all staff has been incredible since I started working at the school."

Teacher of Mathematics

"I absolutely love every aspect of my job working at Salendine Nook. The science department is a supportive, warm and inclusive environment and the students always brighten my day."

Teacher of Science

"I cannot recommend SNHS enough. I have been a teacher for nearly 20 years and moved to SNHS two years ago. I have been met with a really supportive staff body, and an approachable and encouraging SLT group. The schools is keen to improve practice and has an excellent teaching and learning team. One of the most outstanding features is the careful way that work life balance is protected, and any additional teaching or revision is always well rewarded and not expected of the staff. Moving here is one of the best career decisions I have ever made."

Teacher of Business & IT

"From my very first day working at SNHS, I have found the school to be warm and welcoming. I think what makes this school stand out to me, is that leadership always make time to listen. They are supportive and understanding whilst being fair. Our students are amazing young people and it is an absolute pleasure to teach and work with them. They are down to earth, kind and respectful and teach me something everyday. I feel very lucky to work with such a brilliant department of staff in English. Having a shared vision and goal, together with a lot of laughter and fun, makes my job much easier. SNHS really is a special place to work."

Teacher of English

"I arrived at Salendine Nook as my third school in twenty eight years of teaching. I can confidently say that I am currently enjoying teaching as much as at any point in my career, probably because my experience and knowledge is valued. The school has a clear and straightforward vision, is led with honesty and clarity and, significantly, the students are welcoming and positive. I can wholeheartedly recommend Salendine Nook as a rewarding and revitalising place to teach."

Teacher of English

"Right from the very top the welfare and the best interests of our students are complete priority. I have every opportunity and backing to provide this service for the students, their families and the community within my role which gives me great job satisfaction and the chance to use my professional skillset."

Member of Pastoral Team

"I'm always proud to tell friends how happy I am working here. Management support and inspire me on a daily basis, and the staff are so friendly and sociable. I came here as a teaching assistant in Maths to tide me over during the transitional stage after University. The school has since offered to assit with my AAT accountancy qualification along side my current role as Finance Assistant. I also co-ordinate all school trips and manage the school website. The opportunities offered and relationships made here are the reason I'm still here after 10 years."
