Bishop Young C of E Academy is a thriving and highly successful 11-16 Church of England convertor Academy which serves communities right across the city of Leeds. We are part of Abbey Multi Academy Trust and share in the Trust mission to work In Partnership to 'Educate, Nurture and Empower'.
Bishop Young is a welcoming, caring, calm, disciplined, inspiring and purposeful environment. One of the greatest strengths of the academy is our focus on quality teaching and we are committed to ensuring that all our students achieve outstanding results.
We have high expectations of all of our students and aim to equip them with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence they need to achieve life-long success. Our dedicated and forward-thinking staff focus on our culture of challenging and inspiring students, in an environment of mutual respect where each child is recognised as unique and special.
At Bishop Young we have provided young people and their families with a therapeutic, nurturing, and academically rigorous learning environment.
Behaviour is good at Bishop Young Academy. During an external review in July 2019, led by Dr Michael Maddison (former HMI), he reported that “It is abundantly clear that staff at all levels have contributed to creating an increasingly calm and harmonious environment at the academy. Pupils are polite, courteous and welcoming, and they are positive about the academy and the way in which it is being transformed”
Through a bespoke and tailored Character Education Programme, “The BISHOP Character”, we are committed to ensuring that our students are given opportunities to develop ‘soft skills’ such as perseverance and integrity, so that they are able to sustain success when they leave us and move on to Higher Education or work.
We prioritise support for staff and students around SEMH and wellbeing; please follow the social media links below to see examples of this. As such, our staff and students feel valued and loved. Our stand-out provision for staff and student wellbeing has received local and national acclaim, featuring on BBC Look North and National BBC Breakfast. “Teachers want to work at the academy and greatly appreciate the overt focus upon their wellbeing.” External Review July 2019
Since opening as a new academy in 2017, we have made exceptional progress. In 2019, we saw a 0.5 improvement in our Progress 8 score, ensuring that we are one of the most improved schools in the region. Pleasingly, our disadvantaged students and those with SEND improved at an even more rapid rate, ensuring that the progress gap between both groups and the rest of our students disappeared in 2019.
Bishop Young is achieving great things and we are looking for someone with a caring and nurturing ethos to be part of our team.
