Background
The Weston Favell Academy is located in the eastern district of Northampton. It is an 11-19 academy with capacity for 1650 pupils, of which 300 will be in the sixth form.
The academy serves a local area which is socially mixed but is close to national averages in most respects. The majority of pupils come from homes defined as ‘white British’; the relatively small proportions of pupils from different ethnic backgrounds are well integrated.
Context
Since joining the Greenwood Academies Trust in 2012, we have been on a journey of improvement. The culture and ethos of the academy has been transformed – students now demonstrate a positive attitude to learning and are keen to do well. They respond well to their teachers and are keen to engage in learning and an ever increasing range of extra-curricular activities. The academy is predicting improved progress and attainment as the changes in teaching, learning and leadership become embedded.
Team Culture
There is a clear team spirit at Weston Favell and new members of staff would be joining a strong and supportive group of professionals. There are multiple opportunities to work collaboratively to ensure that we are all continuing to improve our practice.
In September 2016, the Trust launched a new Learning Alliance which supports the development of all staff across the Trust. The Learning Alliance encourages collaboration, reflection and active learning amongst professionals which has a positive impact on the experience and outcomes of our learners across the Trust.
Facilities
The Academy occupies a large, split-level site with extensive sports facilities, including a swimming pool and green spaces. There was a recent major PFI building project which has delivered impressive accommodation to support learning across the curriculum.
