What the school offers its staff
Filey Academy is a small, close-knit community, and we pride ourselves on knowing all of our pupils well. We understand how vital it is that students from Filey and surrounding areas enjoy the benefits of an engaging and enriching curriculum offer that results in the very best outcomes for them. We want them to be able to realise their full potential and to do great things. We aim to support our students so that they are confident, community-minded young people who love learning and will be a positive presence wherever they choose to go next.
We ensure that our pupils can learn in a safe and supportive environment. Ofsted’s latest inspection acknowledged the improvement journey that the school is on and we are fully committed to building on the successes we are having for the good of our students. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to feel proud of their achievements. As such, we believe in rewarding pupils for good behaviour, attendance, achievement and effort, running a number of celebration events throughout the year.
We strongly encourage our pupils to take part in enrichment activities so they can discover all their strengths and talents, and run numerous clubs, as well as pupil support sessions and interventions. We also regularly organise whole school events and educational visits so that our pupils have a broad experience of learning beyond the classroom.
Since joining Delta Academies Trust in September, 2025, we have already benefitted from significant investment in our buildings, our Curriculum offer and our staff development.
Ultimately, here at Filey, we understand that our pupils are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged, and supported to achieve their very best. We hope you’re excited to be a part of making that happen.
How Will We Support You?
As part of Delta Academies Trust, you’ll have access to ongoing CPD (both internally and externally) with the opportunity to further develop your skills and career alike. You’ll join a large network of colleagues across the Trust, meaning there’s collaboration and peer support both within our academy and beyond. You’ll regularly have the opportunity to work alongside a Director of History, for instance, who supports with assessment, planning and intervention. You will also have access to an extensive range of employee benefits that focus on your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.
