We actively encourage students to participate in all areas of academy life, motivating and inspiring them to unlock their potential and realise their ambitions.

We encourage and welcome applications from minority groups and foster a work environment that is inclusive as well as diverse, where people can be themselves.
We are a thriving community of equals dedicated to creating a great place to work and learn; students and staff are happy and proud to be part of Kettering Science Academy's journey to being the best that we can be.
