The Bulwell Academy is an 11-18 academy serving families in and around the Bulwell area of Nottingham. We are part of the family of schools that make up the Creative Education Trust and are on an exciting journey to raise standards and ensure we do all that is needed to help the young people we serve succeed; they deserve an exemplary education, and we’re committed to delivering it. Here at The Bulwell Academy, we expect the best for and of every student and this is made possible through our knowledge-rich curriculum offer, CET Knowledge Connected Programme, our clear and concise Behaviour for Learning Policy and Attitude to Learning Rewards Programme and our excellent extra-curricular provision. 

We are seeking to appoint a Director of Achievement to drive improvements in academic performance through the identification and provision of appropriate academic interventions to tackle underperformance, to provide high quality pastoral support, ensuring high attendance and good punctuality and to improve the behaviour and culture of specific year groups.
