Staff morale is high. (Ofsted November 2017)

Staff feel valued and well supported by leaders. They appreciate the way that their well-being is taken seriously. (Ofsted May 2023)

Wexham School is a friendly and vibrant school with a highly committed staff who want the best for all our students. We have developed a “can do” attitude through collaboration and effective partnerships. We are proud to be a non-selective secondary school with a sixth form, which Ofsted judged to be ‘Good’ in all categories in November 2017. These are exciting times to join us as we expand the school and have recently moved a substantial part of the school into new accommodation.  

We offer:

• A reduced timetable and an excellent support programme for ECTs
• An excellent continued professional development programme for all staff, consistently rated highly on our staff surveys.
• All teaching staff have dedicated PPA time and additional non-contact time.
• All teaching staff benefit from a dedicated timetabled weekly CPD session, adding to non-contact time.
• All staff are provided with a laptop. 
• A well-being programme with access to external support and guidance.
• Free use of our fitness suite before or after school.

As a result our retention of staff is excellent, including those that secure internal or external promotions. 

''The senior leadership speak with one voice and there is strong sense of unity of purpose, expectation and direction which is leading to positive attitudes and good morale.'' (Tony Billings, School Effectiveness Officer, February 2021)

As a maintained school all our teachers must hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or be on a recognised training route. This also means that the requirements for teachers' pay and conditions for maintained schools in England must be abided by the School and the Local Authority. 

Many posts we are advertising are new positions due to the school expanding. In three years the school has grown by over 350 students. Larger year groups have now replaced smaller year groups at Key Stage Four (GCSE) leading to a significant expansion of staffing over the last two years. Now these large groups are due to enter our Sixth Form, which will complete our expansion by 2025.
