What the school offers its staff

Heanor Gate Spencer Academy

HGSA is a ‘good’ secondary school and Sixth Form which has shown significantly “improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding”. (Ofsted, May 2022).

Over the past 5 years, we have developed a fantastic culture amongst the students which is rooted in strong discipline and has culminated in a student body full of aspiration, commitment and success. “Leaders and staff are determined to enhance the lives and life chances of all pupils in this school.” (Ofsted, May 2022). The staff buy into the hashtag #TeamHeanor and this ethos of collegiality, team values and moral compass is what makes the unique working environment at Heanor Gate so enjoyable and fulfilling.

We believe that through an ethos of ‘Aspire, Learn and Achieve’, all of our students will achieve their very best educational outcomes. This ethos is at the heart of everything that we do. We want our students to believe that they can achieve whatever they want to with hard work, resilience and self-motivation.

Further details about the role

Due to the successful promotion of our current Post 16 Achievement Leader to the post of Assistant Principal, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic professional to provide outstanding leadership in our expanding and thriving Sixth Form. Over recent years, the Sixth Form has grown in size and its reputation as a leading provider of Post 16 education has resulted in it being the first choice for the majority of our own year 11 students and those from surrounding secondary schools. This year we have received over 90 external applications and anticipate this leading to a record level of enrolment this summer.
