The Trust’s vision is for all young people to have access to the highest academic, social and practical skills required to achieve their full potential.

• Possess strong curriculum knowledge.

• Be confident in their ability to raise standards and instil self-belief and achievement in our students.
• Be a fully inclusive team player.
• Show commitment to inclusion and success for all and more specifically in the English faculty.
• Actively contribute to the wider life and ethos of the Academy.
