Thank you for your interest in the Head of Design Technology vacancy at Burscough Priory Academy.

We are a small and thriving community school, within the Endeavour Learning Trust family of schools. Since joining the Trust, we have made rapid and sustained progress over the last three years, with the vision of being a ‘Great school at the heart of the community.’

At our school you will find a caring, ambitious and inclusive community; one that is dedicated to celebrating the potential and uniqueness of everyone. To support this commitment, there is a strong curriculum, inspirational and challenging teaching and learning and outstanding pastoral care. In November 2022, this was recognised by Ofsted and we were judged a ‘Good’ school.

The relationships that are fostered in school between the children and staff are exceptional. We are very aware of our responsibility as a school at the heart of our Burscough community and we know that excellent relationships with our parents, staff and within the wider community are crucial to the success of the children. Our motto is, ‘E Pluribus Unum,’ which translates as ‘Out of Many, One.’ You will feel a distinct feeling of togetherness, working as one to make sure our children feel safe, valued and well supported.

Our family ethos is tangible; we work as a team and we want the best for everyone. But we are also staunch in our commitment to doing this in a way which protects the wellbeing of our staff and our students. Our commitment to reducing workload is non-negotiable. We seek to thrive; individually, together, in our classrooms, staffrooms, schools and right across the Trust.

We hope the information in this pack give you a flavour of who we are and what we do. If you have any further questions about the role please get in touch.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs L MacLaren
Headteacher
