Thank you for downloading this application

pack and for your interest in becoming

a Teaching Assistant at Birches Head

Academy, in Stoke-on-Trent.

This is an exciting time at the Academy, as

we have made dramatic improvements and

seen a complete culture change in recent

years, resulting in growing numbers of

children applying for places.

We have recently joined the Frank Field

Education Trust, providing a firm foundation

to enable us to flourish. As an Academy

within the Frank Field Education Trust,

schools will particularly benefit from the

Trust’s access to services that will improve

the support we can offer to all students and

families and also from the opportunity to

work with like-minded people, who want the

best for children and young people.

The Academy works in partnership with

a number of schools both locally and

nationally, including our primary feeder

schools and colleges to ensure all students

have the very best opportunities and

outcomes.

Our vision is to provide:

• An exceptional academic education to all

children (Intellectual Capital)

• A values led approach to education for

every child (Cultural Capital)

• The right environment for every

child to flourish by building learning

communities in partnership with parents

and carers (Social Capital)

Achieving these commitments will ensure

that, when pupils leave the Academy, they

are ready for the next step in their journey;

leaving with the necessary skills and

knowledge, and the desire to serve others,

to become the next generation of leaders.

Our determination to do this, in its fullest

sense, resonates with our Academy motto

inspired by the words of Oscar Romero

“Aspire to be More”. I have very high

aspirations for the young people at Birches

Head Academy. I want the very best for

them. I want them to ‘Aspire to be More’.

If you feel you can make a contribution

to this important enterprise and help our

children to be the best that they can be, then

I look forward to receiving your application.

If you would like to discuss this vacancy

or visit the school please contact Mrs

J Bracegirdle, Principal’s PA and Office

Manager, by email at: jbracegirdle@
