"Bournemouth School for Girls is a joyous place. Pupils flourish academically and socially. They are passionate about their learning and embrace the multitude of wider development opportunities that the school provides. Pupils know that the school expects ‘the best for, and from, them’. They strive to live this vision. Consequently, pupils are kind, tolerant and respectful of one another. They actively support the well-being of their peers. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary."
Since signing up with Schrole we have been very impressed by the customer service, the modern-looking online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the various other Schrole products that we may be able to benefit from in the future. We have filled a number of positions this year with candidates from Schrole, during a particularly difficult recruitment year for us. The customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020's.
