Join our School

As part of an educational restructure in the local area in 2022, we have welcomed over 350 new students and over 35 staff into our community and there is now a secondary school of nearly 800 learners across Years 7–11. 

We are looking to expand our team with talented individuals who are passionate about learning and relish the opportunity to work in one of the most beautiful areas of South West England. 

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a school where 'staff morale is high, and classrooms are quiet and purposeful places where learning takes place.' (Ofsted 2025)

We are a close-knit community school where staff support each other in helping our students become the successful and confident global citizens they deserve to be.

As the last local authority maintained secondary school in Somerset, this is your chance to come and be part of something unique.

Wadham School can offer you:

• The chance to be a part of an exciting educational journey alongside highly regarded professionals 
• The opportunity to work with exceptional colleagues and wonderful young people and their families.
• Strong and supportive leadership, who place value on learning beyond the classroom.
• Fulfilment, in knowing that you matter and the work you do makes a positive difference to the lives you touch.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed, and we will be delighted to answer your questions in person or by telephone and give you more information before you make the decision to apply. Please note we do not accept CV applications.
