This position will also encompass some Design Technology teaching.

At Bohunt Horsham the emphasis for students is placed on them learning words that they can use to talk, write and debate the big questions of the world.

We are in our fifth year since opening, located just north of Horsham, West Sussex. We currently provide for students in years 7-11. Over the next few years we will grow to become an all-through school for 1620 students aged 4-16 with a nursery facility. 

We are part of the supportive and innovative Bohunt Education Trust, a MAT with eight schools including two Sixth Forms and a boarding facility.
