One of the founding tenets of the College has always been to ensure that the best possible teachers are recruited and retained. Aside from the necessary qualifications, skills and experience, staff members are recruited for their emotional intelligence, their love for young people and for the subject they teach, and for the passion they bring to their professional interactions.

The Board and Headmasters understand the need to have a happy, fulfilled staff complement, and work actively towards achieving this goal. The education that a school provides is only as good as the staff it employs - a fact that Somerset College understands and supports wholeheartedly.
