Staff Benefits

Our teaching staff enjoy a 2-week October half term break – a whole week more than most schools – giving you extra time to get away for some Autumn sun or just to unwind at home.

Contact time for our teaching staff is lower than the national average. We carry out regular wellbeing surveys to make sure everyone's workloads are manageable without stress. And we're open to new ideas – like trialling regular working-from-home sessions for our teaching staff.

Keep fit and save money with our Cyclescheme, offering 25–39% off bicycles and accessories. 

Our season ticket loan scheme allows employees to make financial savings whilst encouraging the use of our excellent local public transport links.

A daily free lunch is offered for staff who do a break or lunchtime duty.
 

We offer a free service providing access to help dealing with personal problems that may impact work performance. Visit healthassuredeap.co.uk for information.

Our bright and modern environment, designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects in 2007, is a very pleasant place to work. Unwind with a coffee in our attractive staff kitchen, or relax over lunch in the sunshine on our private staff terrace.

We’re just 5 minutes’ walk from Highbury and Islington tube station with its fast and easy links to all the major London rail stations. All of central London is just a few minutes away on the Victoria line. We’re 7 minutes’ walk from Holloway Road tube station (Piccadilly Line). 

The many shops, bars and cafes of Angel Islington or Highbury corner are just a few minutes walk away. You can find everything from small boutiques and independent book stores to major supermarkets within a short stroll from work.

Our staff are friendly and welcoming. As well as organised staff events, there are lots of great opportunities for informal socialising: whether sharing skills in peer-to-peer CPD sessions, chatting over lunch or coffee on the private staff terrace, or enjoying a peer-led yoga class.

‘It’s a kind and welcoming place that promotes a keen sense of family, community and inclusion. Pupils and adults share a mutual respect.’ And The Good Schools Guide agree, describing us as ‘a shining example’ where ‘fabulous, engaged and open-minded students listened to each other and spoke kindly of each other’.Ofsted
