Pros

The staff are amazing and creativity is heavily encouraged and embraced as a vehicle for learning. I love the variety in the role which can include teaching on the school sites and teaching offsite also.

Cons

Travel expenses are not covered for off site teachers which can be an unfair burden. Taking on extra organisational responsibility at the school can not result in a fair pay rise and work balance for some members of staff.

Pros

Good interview process and got a job offer

Cons

They never offered me a formal contract, yet continued inviting me to a “first day” induction. They asked to take my photo, view my DBS, add me to the team, and have me start work without any signed agreement. I had already completed the reference and vetting checks, but even then, no formal contract was provided. They appeared very eager for me to begin, despite my repeated requests for the contract they had promised. Based on my experience, I would advise others to be cautious.

Pros

I've been working at TCW for 8 years, and it's been inspiring to witness the continuous and relevant improvements made every year. Leadership is genuinely committed to creating a positive and respectful work environment, where both staff and student voices are not only heard but truly valued. I also love the creative energy that runs throughout the school. We're encouraged to bring new ideas to the table, collaborate across departments, and contribute meaningfully to school culture and innovation. This openness promotes a vibrant, team-oriented atmosphere where everyone feels they have something valuable to offer. There’s also a strong focus on professional growth. The support systems and relevant training opportunities have consistently helped me grow in my role. Teachers come from a wide range of backgrounds, and this diversity enriches both our workplace and the learning experiences we provide for students.

Cons

In the past, there were occasional issues with miscommunication, but this has improved remarkably. Current systems and leadership efforts have significantly strengthened communication and clarity across all departments and areas.
