In January 2025 Ofsted reported that:

“The school is well-led"
"Pupils live up to the school’s values, showing respect for other and contributing to a positive school environment"
"Pupils are happy and safe thanks to the warm relationships with staff and strong pastoral care."
"The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The school and the Trust have markedly improved the curriculum and how it is delivered."
"The school has introduced clear expectations for high-quality teaching. This helps pupils to remember what they have been taught and produce high-quality work ".

Employment is with Corvus Learning Trust and not Bracknell Forest Council. The trust is very popular and for most posts a large number of applications are received - it is thus not possible to notify all applicants of the outcome. Please accept that if you have not heard within three weeks of the closing date then, unfortunately, your application has been unsuccessful - in which case we offer our best wishes for the future.

Sandhurst School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all members of staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An Enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this post.

We reserve the right to carry out online searches should you be shortlisted for interview. We will ask shortlisted candidates to complete a self-declaration prior to interview.
