About Whitcliffe Mount, A Share Academy

SHARE Multi Academy Trust comprises of Woodside Green Primary, Heaton Avenue Primary, Luck Lane Primary, Millbridge Primary, Royds Hall, Shelley College, Whitcliffe Mount School and Thornhill Community Academy. A central team provides operational support.

We believe in helping staff and students achieve their personal best and are keen to recruit the very best talent to our trust.

More than six hundred people work hard across the trust to ensure we provide the very best education and service across all our schools, from invigilators joining us for a few hours a year, through flexible part-time work to many full-time teaching and support roles.

There are many reasons why you will enjoy working for the trust. You will be surrounded by supportive people, working together with a common goal for all of our students, aiming to value and support all colleagues in order to help them achieve their personal best.

If you decide to join us, we will ensure you have what you need to make a positive difference in your education role. We will seek out your ideas and ask for your opinions regularly using staff voice.

Our CPD commitment is second to none and the training and developmental opportunities on offer will empower you to make improvements in all aspects of your role. The training you receive will help you fulfil your potential whatever your stage of career.

For teachers and leaders, we offer fast tracked, first class developmental opportunities led by one of our academies, Shelley College, which is the Teaching School Hub for Kirklees and Calderdale. This includes National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), lead practitioner positions and trainee senior leadership positions, which build upon our middle leadership programmes.

Whitcliffe Mount School

Whitcliffe Mount School is a large secondary school of 1,250 students in years 7 to 11. Our new purpose-built school was opened in 2017 and boasts state of the art, specialist facilities across the breadth of the curriculum. We are located just off Junction 25 of the M62 and in close proximity to, and within easy access of Huddersfield, Bradford and Leeds.

The leadership team are embracing the trust philosophy of “valuing people, supporting personal best” and are embedding these values into their daily practice, and into the vision and aims of the school. Staff are enthused by the opportunity to consistently improve their practice and work closely with peers from across the trust to develop and to share best practice.

Good behaviour routines and a consistent approach in the setting of high expectations permeates all that we do. Whitcliffe Mount staff work as a team to develop and to improve, and value good staff and student well-being. Our curriculum is broad, balanced and well sequenced and we are working hard to support our students in making clear links between components of learning so that they become confident, independent learners. Our teaching professionals are offered the flexibility to be creative and to develop their ideas in order to motivate and inspire students. We are focused upon offering students of all abilities, including the most vulnerable, the best educational experience, support and guidance to be happy, successful and aspirational in life.

A strong belief exists that offering a wide range of extended learning opportunities ignites students interests and allows them to uncover skills and abilities that support their sense of achievement and happiness in school and into adulthood. We believe that every child can succeed and it is our privilege to provide them the opportunities to identify their talents and their future dreams and aspirations.

Whitcliffe Mount is a wonderful school community and a great place to work, and where all our staff team members can make a positive impact upon the life chances of others.
