What the school offers its staff
We are committed to providing our staff with the highest quality support and challenge to ensure that we excel and give our students the opportunities and provision they deserve. Senior leaders are encouraged where possible to sit on the academy council of another CET school which is a very valuable experience.
Each of the Creative Education Trust’s schools benefits from a comprehensive programme of support and challenge, including working with former HMIs.
On a Wednesday afternoon, all staff take part in our TED Talks for professional development. Each week a priority theme is explored, such as ‘Improving Literacy’, ‘Meeting the needs of students with SEND’ and ‘Assessment for Learning’. Staff have opportunities to deliver a session for other staff and staff can chose which session to attend to support their own CPD goal.
Our ‘breathing space’ days, open to all staff provide opportunities for colleagues to ‘download’ in a safe space. A coaching model is used by our experts in residence and staff report that they have found this provision really effective in supporting their resilience. We intend to continue this initiative and to develop it further at the end of the pandemic.

Weavers Academy is an 11- 18, non-selective academy in Wellingborough and part of the growing Creative Education Trust. We are proud to be a 'good' school (Ofsted, 2022)
Weavers is large enough to offer a very broad range of opportunities within its innovative, comprehensive curriculum while small enough to provide the level of care required to ensure all students feel safe, valued and happy.
We know that the quality of teaching and learning is the single biggest factor in shaping how well students do at school and it is for this reason that we have placed it at the centre of the school’s work. We care deeply about the success of each and every one of our students and we demonstrate this by devoting a huge amount of time to every individual.
The behaviour and attitudes of our students is good and we are proud of our students and the kind and caring attitudes to each other that they display. This ensures an environment in which learning is good and better for everyone. We have an ethos in which is it ‘cool’ to learn and feedback from families and students is absolutely key to this.
