You will be a practitioner who is always willing to learn and develop your teaching skills. You will have the necessary desire, energy and drive to further improve standards of achievement and ensure teaching is of the highest quality across all key stages.
We are at a genuinely exciting stage in our journey. In March 2023, Ofsted judged Robert Barclay Academy to be ‘Good’ in all areas, recognising the rapid and sustained improvement across the school. Parent feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with Ofsted Parent View reflecting strong confidence in the school’s direction and leadership.
We are a school on the rise and as result of our rapidly improving reputation, the school is expanding due to increased pupil numbers. The successful candidate will be joining an experienced and well-established English team, one that embraces our Apple School status.
We place professional development at the heart of what we do. Staff benefit from an innovative induction programme and a comprehensive professional learning offer, both within Robert Barclay Academy and across the Trust, because we believe that investing in our people is the key to our success.

We reserve the right to make an appointment before the closing date, so early applications are encouraged.
