Working weeks are predominately term-time plus additional days prior to the start and end of term when required.

The School is situated in beautiful grounds, three miles from the picturesque town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in North Northumberland. Staff work as a team, whether directly teaching or supporting pupils as part of the School and pastoral teams, or as part of our estates team making the site work as it should to create a safe learning and living environment in which every pupil can thrive.
