About Us
Chobham Academy is always on the lookout for inspirational and influential staff. Most of all, we are on the lookout for potential colleagues who like our students and want to help them succeed. In order to help our staff have the best possible experience and achieve a proper work-life balance, we have put into place a range of measures to benefit both our teaching and students services colleagues.

We place high emphasis on staff wellbeing at Chobham. This helps colleagues to be happier and more effective in their work. Staff are regularly consulted about their wellbeing and the outcomes of these consultations have a direct and rapid impact upon the Academy’s approach to supporting staff wellbeing.

We understand that while it is incredibly rewarding, teaching is also a physically and emotionally wearing job. We want Chobham teachers to be as fit and fresh as possible and to know that the school as a community really cares about how they are. We have tried to put these principles into practice with a number of initiatives which we think give Chobham teachers one of the best wellbeing packages to be found anywhere. These include:

A meeting free week every half term
An extra week of holiday with a two-week half term in the Autumn
A late start or early finish for every teacher on one day each week
A day off in the summer term for 99% attendance
A staff mindfulness programme led by trained colleagues and supported by a free mindfulness app
Subsidised gym membership
Staff fitness and exercise classes
Guest speakers on wellbeing
Regular special events such as comedy nights
The ‘Perkbox’ package of financial benefits
Staff discounts at shops and restaurants in the local area
Access to the Harris Federation’s staff counselling service

Our staff are regularly consulted on the wellbeing services the school provides and we always try to respond to staff suggestions. In this way, staff feel empowered and get more of the services they really want. We are very proud of our wellbeing programme at Chobham and hope you will agree that it shows our commitment to making the school an exemplary working environment.
