Have experience of improvement planning and of implementing a range of strategies to raise student achievement, with evidence of success.

The leadership team is dedicated not only to academic excellence and character development but also to ensuring that the workload for teachers is balanced, manageable, and well-considered.

How do we reduce workload for teachers?

• High-quality, centralised curriculum resources
• Live marking in lessons, so marking does not need to be taken home
• A centralised behaviour management system
• Visible and supportive senior leadership team (SLT)
• Well-planned deadlines

These are just a few examples of how we're making sure our teachers can focus on what matters most: delivering excellent lessons to our students. This is an exciting time to be joining Conisborough College as it continues to progress towards becoming a great school with great outcomes.
