We are looking for candidates who share our commitment and determination to providing a learning environment that enables all young people to thrive. This post could suit an ECT as well as a more experienced applicant.
Our most recent OFSTED inspection (May 2018) saw the academy judged as ‘Good’ with many outstanding features.
We offer extensive professional development opportunities with a structured path to enable progression at every stage of your career. This includes leadership training, secondments at other schools, coaching and mentoring. We also support our staff undertaking NPQ’s. We are proud to be a “Brilliant School” and have recently been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools. Our succession planning strategy seeks to provide a variety of leadership opportunities from temporary projects to secondments. We have some exciting opportunities arising to start in September which the successful candidate could apply for.

Our ideal candidate will:
- embrace our ethos and passion for our 3 R’s of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.
- be excited about teaching English and committed to achieving excellent results for their students.
- demonstrate high levels of ambition and optimism regarding what the academy and every single student can achieve.
- have the resolve to make a real difference to the lives of pupils, be that as Form Tutor, through extra-curricular activities or leading an enrichment session on a more unique topic which ignites your passion.
An interest in developing debating and public speaking across the school would be an advantage but is not essential.
