‘An Outstanding School’: Ofsted May 2013
National Teaching School: March 2012
A well-qualified, enthusiastic, dynamic and inspirational teacher of Science is required to join a thriving and highly successful curriculum area which has made a major contribution to recent transformation of the Academy. Examination results in 2014 saw 75.2% of students gain one grade C and 64% of students gain 2 grade Cs or above. At KS3, 92% of students achieved L5+, with 67% achieving L6+. All students at the Academy complete 2 GCSEs in science, with some students taking 3 GCSEs and completing Triple Award science.
The Morley Academy is at an exciting stage of its development. Examination results in 2013 and 2014 place it within the top 20% of schools nationally for KS3 and KS4. At 300 students, Post-16 numbers are the highest in the academy’s history and in September 2015 a new Post-16 College, the Elliott Hudson College will open. We are also in partnership with The Farnley Academy, Hillcrest and Ryecroft Primary Schools in a sponsorship role and in September 2014 we opened an 11-16 Free School, The Ruth Gorse Academy. In March 2012 we became a National Teaching School and we retained our status as an Outstanding academy in May 2013 when we were re-inspected and were judged Outstanding in every category.
The school is an Investors in People Champion. The successful candidate will benefit from a comprehensive Induction Programme. We promise to:

- Value you
- Support you
