About Ashcroft Technology Academy
A quote from our recent Ofsted inspection (September 2021) when the Academy was graded to be "OUTSTANDING":
“Leaders make sure that all pupils receive an excellent education, both in and outside of the classroom. Pupils know that staff want them to excel and aim high for the future. Leaders are just as ambitious for students in the sixth form.”

We take the ‘business’ of education very seriously. We believe that students can only give of their very best and achieve well if they are able to learn in a well-ordered and well-managed environment. In order to achieve this, we operate a very strict discipline code which promotes positive learning behaviours. Our teachers and support staff are crucial in managing this environment, which we know they cannot do entirely on their own. You will be very well-supported in the Academy by the Leadership Group so that you can easily deliver and support in lessons in an environment in which students are not known to disrupt learning. In fact, the support you will receive from all staff will be second to none. In departments there is a strong sense of camaraderie, new members of staff are assigned a ‘buddy’ and we operate a breakfast PD schedule, termly PD activities and a whole host of extra-curricular activities and trips – so you will very quickly be able to involve yourself in all aspects of Academy life and get to know colleagues in all subject areas. Whichever stage of your career you are at, we are looking for people who share our drive and ambition to give our students an outstanding learning experience.
