WELCOME

Thank you for considering South Wigston High School as a new place to develop your career. No doubt you’ll have looked at our school website. If you have, hopefully you’ll have begun to get a feeling about the school and will have started to see that it is a great place to come to work.

I am Head at South Wigston High School and am honoured to lead a school with such fantastic students and staff. Our reputation locally is very good and we are oversubscribed. Opportunities to develop at this school are ever present. I am a firm believer in growing talent and consequently reap the rewards of being innovative and enthusiastic. Because we never stand still and are always looking to do our best for our students, staff development is a priority. All new staff work closely with the senior member of staff in charge of induction to help them hit the ground running as much as possible. On top of that we invest heavily in CPD internally and externally to ensure we are constantly improving our skills and abilities at all levels.

Our students are fantastic and buy into our ‘can do’ ethos, where effort and engagement really matter. Our job is to raise their aspirations, motivate them to be the best they can be and to help them leave us with the best possible future ahead of them. The staff here all share the vision, so we have excellent relationships throughout the school community and we provide a huge range of additional learning opportunities and extra-curricular activities to help extend our students.

If you join us and support our ethos, I can guarantee that you’ll be equally well supported in your career development and that you will look forward to coming to work.
