We are looking for a leading specialist who wants to make the next move to a prestigious role in a progressive Academy and Multi-Academy Trust that is constantly growing and gives opportunity to those that have drive and absolute care. You must be a forward thinking, dynamic, and a resilient teacher who, working in collaboration with the wonderful Leadership Team, will provide high quality teaching to help take the department to the next level. You will be a natural inspirer, with the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues. It is crucial that you have a great understanding of the latest educational landscape and how to achieve success within these parameters.

This is an exciting stage for the department as we have made many changes across the school over recent years. The department consists of a 'family' wonderful professionals who have an internal reputati

on of being an ’energetic, close, and supportive'. You will have the advantage of being part of the awesome support and caring network that this generates – the word 'family' resonates through our Academy and Department. The department achieved outstanding achievement in our summer 2025 results.

We invest in and support our staff and over recent years have welcomed colleagues onto the Senior Leadership team and other whole school responsibilities as part of their development. We support outward facing initiatives through promotion of school visits and CPD training. We also have opportunities for colleagues to gain wider experience in whole school initiatives and this has supported the promotion of a number of internal appointments over recent years. Being part of a MAT also offers networking and career prospects for candidates wanting to progress in the future as we continue to grow and develop together. Our Trust is very much the heartbeat and offers an abundance of support and opportunity. This is echoed by our wonderful Governors and indeed community in which we serve.
