Equitas Academies Trust was formed in September 2012 and incorporates Aston Manor Academy (Secondary) and Chilwell Croft Academy (Primary). Both Academies are happy, exciting and inspiring learning environments for their children who are from a vibrant mix of cultures. The staff and Trustees have a great sense of pride in their schools and care passionately about the pupils they serve. All students, including those with SEND, consistently make strong progress and achieve well across the curriculum.

Aston Manor Academy serves a culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged catchment area yet year on year produces excellent results for its very deserving students. We firmly believe that one of the key hallmarks of Aston Manor Academy is the positive, friendly and supportive ethos which enables all of our students to make progress, both academically and in their personal development. We are very proud that our most recent Ofsted inspection (June 2025) judged us to be ‘outstanding’ and our Sixth Form is consistently amongst the best in Birmingham for attainment and progress.

As an employer, Equitas Academies Trust offers:

• A supportive and nurturing working environment
• A commitment to CPD opportunities
• Employee wellbeing benefits including access to a Voluntary Health Care Cash Plan and a cycle to work scheme, Electric vehicle scheme, BHSF Clinical App
• Employer contributions to Local Government Pensions Scheme (support staff) or Teacher Pensions Scheme (teaching staff)
• Pay progression centred around a robust performance management process
• An inclusive and caring ethos.

We pride ourselves on improving the lives of our students, as well as supporting the fantastic team who dedicate themselves to students every single day. This is an opportunity to really make a difference and enjoy a varied, challenging and ultimately rewarding role.

We would welcome visits to Aston Manor Academy prior to the closing date or alternatively, delighted to answer any questions you may have. To arrange a visit, please contact the HR Department on 0121 359 8108 or via email at jobs@equitasacademiestrust.com
