Why Work at BGS?

Beverley is a superb location, regularly viewed as one of the best towns to live in England; sitting at the foot of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds and within easy reach of the cities of York and Kingston Upon Hull, as well as the rugged East Yorkshire coastline. The secondary and primary  schools within Beverley have excellent reputations and the area is a fantastic one to bring up children. 

As the oldest state school in the country, we have a rich history and are very mindful of protecting and celebrating this whilst also ensuring we develop a team of forward thinking, innovative staff. 

We pride ourselves on being a warm,  welcoming school who values strong relationships with all stakeholders and cares deeply about the welfare of our staff and students.  We are a high performing school, necessarily ambitious for our students and their future. We believe in the professionalism and expertise of our staff and aim to embed an ethos that allows everyone the opportunity to thrive.

We maintain that our school is a stimulating and rewarding community in which to work. We want staff to challenge our students, and expect to be challenged by them. We support each other in creating a “BGS family” that enables us to produce well-rounded staff, capable of the career progression  they deserve.

We actively encourage staff to go beyond the classroom, operating a range of extracurricular activities and giving staff the autonomy to share their passions and interests with the students.

Staff are rightly proud to work at this school. They speak highly about the quality training and support they receive. They appreciate senior leaders’ ‘open-door’ policy. They say leaders genuinely care about their well-being as that of pupils. ‘We love our jobs and we are a team.’  Ofsted

We are serious about staff welfare at BGS and this is very much part of the school ethos, which are reflected in our welfare principles:
