What the school offers its staff

At St James Academy, we are determined to become a centre of excellence for young people who live in central Dudley. We have already achieved some impressive results.

Since joining the Trust, St James is the most improved school in the Borough for grades achieved at GCSE and for passing Maths and English at Grade 5 or above. In fact, the proportion of learners achieving Grade 5 or higher in both English and Mathematics has doubled!

Our academy achieved above the national average for the progress made by learners and above the average for Dudley.

An increasing number of departments have achieved 100% GCSE pass rates, and our ambition is that this should extend to every area as quickly as possible.

Our philosophy is simple: we will ensure the success of our learners through outstanding teaching, positive behaviour and embracing the talents of each individual.

Closing date – Tuesday 7th May 2024 - we reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than the date advertised.
