Working for Hinchingbrooke School
Hinchingbrooke School is an outstandingly beautiful school. Set in acres of grounds and adjoining a country park, Hinchingbrooke House was formerly the family home of the Cromwells and of the Earls of Sandwich. We have a magnificent range of much more modern purpose-built facilities, such as a swimming pool, an all-weather sports pitch, a Performing Arts Centre and designated subject suites. Extra-curricular activities (music, drama, sport and Duke of Edinburgh) are a much valued feature of the school and we seek to appoint teachers willing to help maintain this tradition. Through our partnership with HBK Leisure, a fitness suite is available for staff use.
Our focus lies very much in the area of teaching and learning and believe that this must be at the heart of all our developmental work as we seek to fulfil the potential of each and every one of our students.
At Hinchingbrooke School, we follow the Hinchingbrooke Approach to Teaching (HAT). Please click on the image for more information.
