Thank you for your interest in working at Casterton College Rutland.

We believe that if we put our staff first, they will put our students first.

The most important way to look after staff is to trust and support them. We do not micromanage staff, nor do we relentlessly weigh, measure, or monitor them. Instead, we collectively hold ourselves to account and recognise together what we are doing well. There are no top-down appraisals or staff targets at Casterton. Instead, each member of staff benefits from our Professional Coaching Scheme and has a Professional Mentor and Professional Support Plan or PSP. Bureaucracy is kept to a minimum, and we work closely with the professional associations and unions because we are on their side.

We are not a multi-academy trust with layers of corporate management, and we do not describe ourselves as a business with clients, customers, or users. We are colleagues, who together provide young people with the best education that we can. We are proud to be a public service for the public benefit and society as a whole. 

For these reasons, our staff recruitment is excellent, and our turnover is low. There is no shortage of people wanting to work at Casterton because we work as a team and treat each other as equals. We realise this makes us different from many schools, and it is a difference that we like.
