Staff

We have a high number of qualified, specialist teachers in our staff team. All staff are highly experienced in working with young people and a passion for working with pupils who struggle to access mainstream education.

Our Headteacher is Charly Skoppek. Charly is studying for a Doctorate in Education, specialising in Trauma and Exclusion. Charly pioneered our Rugby Centre when it opened in 2017 before becoming Deputy Principal. Charly was appointed Principal in October 2022. Charly has a teaching qualification, and has a specialism in English Language. 

​You can find details of our staff and how to contact them below.

All VLC staff and volunteers are recruited in accordance with safer recruitment procedures and work under the VLC Safeguarding Policy, which is available here. ​

If you are interested in volunteering or employment opportunities, please get in contact. Specific vacancies will be advertised here when they are available.​
