Job overview
MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
Things are changing for the better for education in Workington and you could be part of these exciting new developments. Southfield Technology College and Stainburn School & Science College are secondary schools with a joint Sixth Form. Both schools were placed into special measures in November last year.
Now, led by an inspirational Executive Headteacher with a proven track record and strong and supportive leadership teams, the schools are on a journey of sustained improvement. There is a completely new building planned which will eventually replace both existing schools.
Working as part of a newly formed and dynamic team you could play your part in a success story for education in Workington. There is also the opportunity to participate in an outstanding CPD programme. Add into the mix the schools' location in Workington, right on the edge of one of the most beautiful national parks in the UK, and you could change your own life for the better too.
The following opportunity is available for September 2014. Teachers may be required to work across both schools but the substantive appointment will be made at one of the schools.

Headteacher's Welcome:
As the Headteacher of Workington Academy, I am immensely proud of the high standard of education we provide to all of our students. We are a community school, driven to provide the absolute best experiences and opportunities to every young person at the Academy. Our ethos of ‘Be The Best You Can Be’ is at the heart of everything we do, whether in the classroom or on the sports field. Underpinning our ethos are the core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience. Through these values, we are able to round and develop every child in our school and prepare them for a full and rewarding life. As a proud member of Cumbria Education Trust (CET), we work proactively with all our trust schools, to develop an excellent curriculum that supports students in achieving the very best outcomes. Alongside this we also work together to provide outstanding extra-curricular opportunities in the areas of sport, design, leadership and expressive arts.
We strive to continuously improve, never resting on our laurels, always looking for the next step to maximise student outcomes or improve student engagement. We are passionate about going the extra mile for all our students, supporting them to be the best versions of themselves.
