At Flying High, Everyone Counts! We value the commitment and hard work all staff provide to our children and in return we offer all team members valuable benefits from day one.
Alongside these benefits we provide access to a variety of others including a 'cycle to work' scheme, and gym and retail discounts. Click Learn More to read about our full programme of employee benefits.

Generous Annual Leave Entitlement
We all need sufficient time away from work to recharge and spend time doing the things we enjoy. School support and central team colleagues receive a generous annual leave entitlement (in addition to eight Bank Holidays) which increases with continued length of service.
Pension Schemes
FHP employees have access to one of the best pension schemes operating on a defined benefit basis, offering an income throughout retirement. The schemes offer: Generous employer contributions; Flexible retirement option; Ill Health Benefits (if eligible); Death in Service payment (tax-free, lump sum payment 3x your salary to nominated recipients).
Additional PPA Time
Enhanced support for our teachers to enable effective planning by offering an extra day or two half days per term, as directed by the school.
Employee Assistance Programme
Our EAP, provided by industry-leading Health Assured, is a confidential advisory and support service designed to help our employees deal with personal and professional issues that could be affecting their home life or work life, health and general wellness. The helpline is open 24/7, 365 days a year and an app is available for instant access.

Our schools and central team have trained MHFAs on-site to provide initial mental health support and assistance when required.
