Job overview

The academy staff shares an unwavering belief that every student, regardless of their starting point, can go on to university or purse the career of their choice.

We are in the top 1% of schools in the country for value added in Mathematics and achieved 80% A*-C last year at GCSE at first entry with all students taking GCSE Mathematics at the end of Year 11.
The department takes a very holistic view of students’ development and works relentlessly to overcome barriers to learning. The principal, with his senior leaders, sets very high expectations and ensures that they are realised through rigorous monitoring and support systems for students and staff.
