Parkside School

It couldn’t be a more exciting time to join Parkside School which recently joined Wellspring Academy Trust who were recently awarded the title of Multi Academy Trust of the year. As such, we are at the start of an exciting journey  and we are looking for a like-minded, talented people to join us. Wellspring Academy Trust is known for its inclusive practice and these values are matched by Parkside School.

Located in the picturesque village of Cullingworth, Parkside School is surrounded by rolling hills and dramatic countryside. The village, three miles south of Keighley and seven miles west of central Bradford, is not only popular with commuters but also with tourists, walkers and cyclists who revel in some of the country’s most glorious scenery. The locality is steeped in history; the Brontë Parsonage Museum and its famous literary collections lie less than five miles east.

We want the young people of Parkside school to have every available opportunity to develop into well-rounded citizens who are equipped to make a positive contribution and who know how to keep themselves safe. We want students to have passionate hopes for their future; hopes that they can articulate, believe in and make real. We want to develop a nurturing environment that develops students who can empathise, critique, protect, love, inspire, make, design, explore and understand; students who are willing to try things they have never tried before, do things they have never done before and who are willing to risk reimagining themselves as the very best version of what they can become.

We believe that education is the vehicle for improved outcomes for all. Improved outcomes for all aid the cause of social justice through equity. This is why we are so passionate about what we do. We champion inclusive education, stronger communities and improving life chances. We are passionate about our social purpose: to make a difference. Ethics and values are at the heart of our culture. We have taken the harder path many times in order to remain true to our values. Our organisational thinking, philosophy of education and way of being place people and positive relationships at their heart. We invest in our workforce. We invest in our children and young people. We invest in our communities.
