About our Trust (http://www.sget.org.uk/)

The Shropshire Gateway Educational Trust is a unique, mixed multi-academy trust with primary, secondary, church and non-denomination schools who work together to improve the educational experience and outcomes for its pupils.

We are an excellent choice for professionals who want to:

• continue their career paths with high quality support and development.

About our community.

Located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country, Cleobury Mortimer is a small, yet vibrant and growing town situated on the edge of Shropshire, just 30 miles to the west of Birmingham. The town itself has several shops producing local and fresh produce, most of which are independently owned and run by local people to the town. It also has amenities that include a doctors, dentist, seven public houses, cafes, beauticians, a chiropractor, chiropodist, hairdressers and several restaurants offering a range of cuisines.

Cleobury is bordered by Worcestershire to the south, Herefordshire to the west and is an easy commutable distance from the towns or cities of Shropshire, Herefordshire,

Worcestershire, Wolverhampton and, of course, Birmingham. To the east of the town are the Clee Hills, which has the highest summit south of the Pennines, therefore

making it an ideal place for walking and country living. Other nearby towns include Bewdley, Ludlow and Bridgnorth. Our two largest schools (Cleobury Mortimer Primary and Lacon Childe Secondary) are in the town and the central team is based within the Secondary School. Our two other smaller primaries (Stottesdon CofE Primary and Clee Hill Community

Academy) are a 15-minute drive from the town.

The Shropshire Gateway Educational Trust and all its schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Rigorous child protection procedures are in place. Appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, where applicable a prohibition from teaching check and other appropriate pre-employment checks. Applicants should read our safeguarding policy (available on our website) prior to application.
