What the school offers its staff

Horbury Primary Academy is a thriving and popular 2-form entry primary school. The school has enjoyed a period of sustained improvement since joining Accord Multi Academy Trust in 2016 culminating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in the latter part of the autumn term in December 2022.

Accord Multi Academy Trust is an established and well-regarded cross-phase MAT of four schools – two secondaries (one incorporating Accord Sixth Form) and two primaries. The schools are in close proximity which creates excellent opportunities for strong collaboration between all leaders. This culture has been instrumental in allowing the schools and the Trust to meet the many challenges in education in a coherent, co-ordinated, and effective way with the mutual support and challenge enriching each of the academies and the Trust. The Trust has strong foundations on which to build and you will be a key part of its future growth, development, innovation, and continuous improvement.
