Job overview

The David Young Community Academy is an 11-18 Church of England, multi-faith academy serving an area of significant deprivation in east Leeds. Welcoming those of all faiths and of none, our staff have a passion for social justice and understand the importance of educational outcomes for our young people. This is a challenging but rewarding place to work.

Part of the LEAF Academy Trust, we work with other Trust schools and the Diocese of West Yorkshire and the Dales, applying innovative educational practice in order to impact life chances for students. Underpinned by Christian values, we look to develop a love of learning in a safe and inclusive environment. We focus on preparing students for the world of work - our links with employers and our IB offer in our growing sixth form is key to this. Classroom practice and learning is improving but there is more to do to realise the potential.

As our new Principal, you will have a track record of raising standards in a challenging context. You may be a serving Head Teacher/Principal looking for a further challenge. Alternatively, you might be aspiring for a role at this level. Either way, we will give you the autonomy to operate effectively; however, we can also support and mentor, given the expertise within the Trust. Your personal qualities and people skills will set you apart. You will share our ethos and our passion for making a difference through educational excellence and standards.

About Bishop Young Church of England Academy

Belonging – Listening – Serving - Persevering

Principal – Paul Cooper

Bishop Young Church of England Academy is based in East Leeds.   The academy was formerly known as the David Young Community Academy and has recently changed its name as it moves into an exciting new era as part of the Abbey Multi-Academy Trust.   

 Bishop Young Church of England Academy is poised to achieve great things.  Opening as a new member of the Abbey Multi Academy Trust marks the start of a new chapter for the staff, students and community of BYA. Together we need to be both realistic about the challenges ahead, but unswerving in our commitment to tackling them with pace and the confidence that we can affect rapid change.
