Our vision is for Temple Learning Academy to be an exceptional, innovative community offering memorable lifelong learning experiences to enable all to achieve their full potential.
Everyone will develop the moral values, confidence, skills, resilience and ambition to change the future for the better within their local and global communities.
Temple Learning Academy is an all-through free school academy in East Leeds. We opened our doors to Reception pupils in 2015 and we welcomed our first Year 7 cohort in September 2017. From September 2020, we will be an academy with approximately 800 pupils in total across Reception and Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,7 ,8, 9 and 10. We are ambitious for change, and our vision is to build a world-class all-through school that serves its local community.
We are part of the Red Kite Learning Trust, a multi-academy trust that was formed with the aim of bringing real benefits to children and young people in all our schools. This is achieved through strong partnerships that have the same values of providing excellence for all through improving the quality of provision for all our young people aged four to sixteen. We are also members of the Red Kite Teaching School Alliance, a partnership of Yorkshire schools and institutions that work together to improve learning and achievement across the region.
We are seeking a highly experienced, talented and dedicated school leader to join our growing academy.
• You will have a strong track record in the strategic leadership of schools.
• You will have significant experience of working with pupils of different ages, preferably across the primary and secondary age-ranges. You will be excited and enthusiastic about working with all of our pupils (aged 4-16) and their families.
• You will have the commitment, energy and abilities to achieve the best for all our pupils, families and the community.
• You will be an excellent classroom practitioner.
• You will have excellent teamwork skills, keen to champion the power of all-through education and eager to work in partnership with other schools and organisations.
In return we can offer:
• a crucial leadership role in shaping and developing a growing, all-through school;
• a crucial leadership role in championing our vision and values and ethos;
• an overarching ethos of equality, celebration of diversity and a belief in the individuality and unique potential of each child;
• highly rewarding teaching and pastoral relationships with pupils and their parents and carers;
• a highly supportive environment within a dedicated team of colleagues;
• opportunities to develop and grow professionally through work with our partners and within the Red Kite Learning Trust and Red Kite Teaching School Alliance.

I am delighted to welcome you to Temple Learning Academy. I understand that the decision about where to entrust the care of your child is one of the most important decisions a parent or carer will ever make. At Temple Learning Academy, we take this responsibility very seriously.
We are a school situated in the heart of the community we serve. That sense of community pervades everything we stand for and everything we do and it is an absolute privilege for me to lead this school.
We are one of only a few ‘all-through’ schools in Leeds. Being an all-through school means our students benefit from a seamless transition between year groups and phases; shared expertise and resources, and a curriculum that is sequenced from Early Years to Year 11. We pride ourselves on having an incredibly strong and supportive pastoral system, based on collaboration and effective communication, through which we build lasting relationships with families, many of whom have children with us from Reception through to Year 11.
Temple Learning Academy offers a fantastic opportunity for children and young people to learn and develop and we are totally committed to providing the best possible foundations for adult life. As Principal, I am privileged to work with a team of exceptional practitioners who are determined to ensure that our students, your children, realise their potential and pursue the career path of their choice.
We understand that every child has a unique set of qualities. Our core values of Courage, Opportunity, Respect and Excellence underpin our drive to maximise the development of those qualities in every child whilst nurturing ambition and providing challenge, meaningful experiences and every opportunity to ensure all children reach their potential.
Temple Learning Academy is a member of Red Kite Learning Trust which is also comprised of three Secondary schools and nine Primary schools. Being part of such a large network of schools provides easy access to resources and expertise to ensure children at Temple Learning Academy benefit from the very best practices. We utilise our partnerships to help drive up standards through the development and training of school leaders; professional learning opportunities for staff and school improvement – all to the benefit of our student’s opportunities and outcomes.
I have had the enormous privilege of leading Temple Learning Academy since April 2021 after spending the majority of my teaching career in east Leeds; I know the area well. I am totally committed and incredibly proud to lead this school and to serve our community and our children.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I very much hope that you will join us and enjoy everything that Temple Learning Academy has to offer.
