- Cognita schools are friendly and happy places to work. You will enjoy the support of committed Heads and colleagues.
- Classes are significantly smaller than in most state maintained schools.
- In recent ISI Inspection Reports, frequent comment has been made upon how well-motivated, courteous and friendly our pupils are. It is a very considerable strength, and allows staff to concentrate upon the process of teaching, knowing that discipline is not a major issue.
- Parents in the independent sector are demanding, but they are also very supportive. They see education as a priority, and all of our schools work very hard to develop good relationships between home and school.
- There is time to develop relationships with pupils. The academic pace of our schools is brisk, but we are not required to deliver quite the same prescriptive curriculum as the maintained sector, and activities outside the purely academic retain a position of prominence in our schools. We are very much committed to the all-round development of pupils - their personal, social, spiritual, moral and creative dimensions.
- Staff in Cognita schools work very hard, but enjoy slightly longer holidays than those of many maintained schools. We think it important that teachers should have some life outside school!
- All Cognita schools benefit from routine investment in training
- Cognita teachers share best practice experience from schools within the group which is stimulating and rewarding
- Cognita is an equal opportunities employer.
In addition to teaching positions, we often have a variety of support roles available. We may be looking for cooks, caretakers, administrative or financial staff. Have a look at our current vacancies page or email .
