What the school offers its staff
Stowupland is an inclusive 11-18 community school in mid-Suffolk. The large catchment area, which covers many of the outlying villages, adds to the vibrant and stimulating culture of the school. Stowupland’s current admission number allows for 210 places in Year 7.
The John Milton Academy Trust was incorporated on 26th July 2016. Prior to this, founding schools of the Trust operated as part of the Stowupland Pyramid, providing education to young people from the ages of 4 – 18. JMAT presently operates through four strategic sites: Bacton Primary, Cedars Park, Mendlesham Primary and Stowupland High Schools.
Our ambition is rooted in civic duty and civic leadership and this is applied from pre-school through to adult learning. We recognise the value of resources and assets across the Trust and continue to explore and develop these, ethically and responsibly, on behalf of our communities.
We have high aspirations for all learners - irrespective of starting point or context - and inclusive practice is embedded in our expectations, our learning offer and its delivery.
Excellence permeates all aspects of our work and we have embraced innovation, research and partnership working in order to advance education for public benefit and provide a path where others may follow.
Being part of the John Milton Academy Trust, you will also have support from the Trust’s family of schools, the CEO, School Improvement partners, and other senior leaders within our Trust.
