A fine place to build a career, and a good life alongside it
The school sits in its own grounds above Bideford, five minutes from the North Devon coast and within the UNESCO North Devon Biosphere, with clean air, open countryside and beaches close by.
For many staff the location is a large part of the appeal: coastal walks after work, surf at the weekend, and a slower, healthier rhythm to family life.
