Halfway point in our founding year with our wonderful founding cohorts & families. Such a privilege to open a school with them & our incredible founding team. There’s a chance to join us as a science teacher for the next stage of our founding journey. reachacademyhanworthpark.com/jointheteam/

Reach has some of the best PD that I've ever seen - as well as an incredible staff and student culture. If I had my time again I would absolutely go and work for @Tillybrownie . Roles below:

This is an INCREDIBLE opportunity to join our super talented founding team as a science teacher. A school where our children adore science. Participation is incredible & behaviour exemplary. This is a chance to grow a career whilst building a school. reachacademyhanworthpark.com/jointheteam/
