All offers are subject to the receipt of two satisfactory references. We take the safeguarding of our children very seriously and all referees are asked about whether they are aware of applicants having been the subject of any safeguarding concerns.

We request an Enhanced Criminal Record check and Barred Teaching Check as part of our recruitment process. These checks are processed by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

We also require proof of identity and proof of right to work in the UK.

If you have lived abroad for 6 months or more, we will require checks from each country where you have lived. The applicant is responsible for obtaining and covering the cost of these checks.

We also require a self-declaration of convictions and cautions, and a signed statement that you are not
barred from working with any vulnerable groups.

If you are asked to attend an interview you will be asked to bring:

Photographic evidence (with address details; for example, valid passport, current driving licence)
Documentation that proves you are eligible to work in the UK
A completed disclosure of criminal convictions form

As the job for which you are applying involves opportunity for access to children, it is important that you provide us with legally accurate answers.

Upfront disclosure of a criminal record may not debar you from appointment as we shall consider the nature of the offence, how long ago and at what age it was committed and any other relevant factors. Please submit information in confidence enclosing details in a sealed envelope which will be seen and then destroyed by the Chair of the Board of Trustees. If you would like to discuss this beforehand, please telephone in confidence to the Chair of the Board of Trustees for advice.

Please disclose any unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings. Please not that the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected' and are not subject to disclosure to employees, and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found at the Disclosure and Barring service website www.gov.uk/dbs.

You should be aware that the school will institute its own checks on successful applicants for shortlisting with the Disclosure and Barring Service. Failure to declare any convictions (that are not subject to DBS filtering) may disqualify you for appointment or result in summary dismissal if the discrepancy comes to light subsequently.
