Filey Secondary School

Filey School is an 11-16 mixed community school serving the coastal town of Filey and its surrounding villages. We have a proud heritage in our local community and are embarking on a period of transformation and improvement. We aim for every member of our school community to develop a love of learning and enable them to reach the highest outcomes that they can. We are committed to ensuring our students are happy, safe and have clear direction and support. We joined Coast and Vale Learning Trust in June 2022 and benefit from the collaborative and supportive environment of the Trust while returning to our identity as Filey School.

Our Trust

Coast and Vale Learning Trust will shortly be joining Delta Academies Trust, a high-performing Multi Academy Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England.

As part of Delta Academies Trust, you’ll have access to ongoing CPD (both internally and externally) with the opportunity to further develop your skills and career alike. You’ll join a large network of colleagues across the trust, meaning lots of collaboration and peer support both within your academy and beyond, as well access to an extensive range of employee benefits that focus on your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

Coast and Vale Learning Trust was founded by Scalby Secondary School but has grown over the last few years to include Newby and Scalby Primary School, Friarage Primary School and the Scarborough University Technical College (SUTC) in Scarborough, Lady Lumley’s Secondary School in Pickering and Filey School. Our ambition is to continue to welcome new schools into our Trust where we can add capacity, resources, improvement and make sure all our young people have access to the very best education.

The aim of the Trust is to serve all the education community along the North Yorkshire Coast and down the Vale of Pickering. We are committed to supporting all schools in becoming great schools, whether they are part of Coast and Vale Learning Trust or not. The learners of our community deserve the best education regardless of their background or location.

Choosing where to work and who to work for is one of the vitally important decisions in life. In choosing to work for Coast and Vale Learning Trust you would be joining a team of colleagues dedicated to transforming the lives of 3000 children and young people.

We have a simple vision in wanting our schools to be places ‘where children and staff thrive’. Coast and Vale Learning Trust will work tirelessly to make this a reality.
