Job overview
The Wellington Academy is a highly inclusive, innovative school, which opened in 2009 to serve the Tidworth area of Wiltshire and is situated on the Wiltshire/Hampshire border, within close proximity of the A303 and A34. Graded ‘Good’ by OFSTED, the Wellington Academy has transformed itself into a high performing school over the past three years.
OFSTED noted that ‘The quality of school leadership has improved since the previous inspection. As a result, expectations of what pupils can achieve are higher. Leaders have created a culture in which high standards of behaviour are expected and pupils are encouraged to succeed.’
Our staff charter underlines our belief that all students can achieve, be happy and have limitless aspirations – and our job as professionals is to ensure this happens. All our staff sign up to these aspirations and play a full role in contributing to this vision through inclusive teaching. We seek to recruit dedicated and talented staff, highly committed to making a difference in the state system.
This role will make a huge difference to children that struggle to access learning in a main stream setting, in the role you will be required to deliver the alternative curricula to re-engage disaffected students with learning, improving student outcomes and raising aspiration. It is essential that you possess the ability and confidence to teach English to small groups of our disaffected students, aged between 11-16 years. Experience of working with students with social, emotional and mental health issues and emotional literacy would be advantageous.
If you have a desire to make a difference, with a calm and focused approach, the ability to make decisions, work independently as well as part of a team, with a good sense of humour, then please apply.
If you believe you have the commitment to work in an environment which seeks to contribute to limitless aspirations as well as set and maintain high standards and expectations, then please apply using the Academy’s application form, available with more details from our website at www.thewellingtonacademy.org.uk

About The Wellington Academy
The Wellington Academy, as part of the Ascend Learning Trust, offers opportunities that are quite unique in a state school. There is something for every student to participate in; be it the Combined Cadet Force; Wheeler programme; Global Leadership China project; The Talent Tap and China Internship, as well as having a host of other opportunities to succeed both at school or beyond. This year a large group of our students have had the opportunity to serve internships in top London companies and also work in China and Thailand at our sister schools for a year.
Our curriculum is focused on ensuring every student is equipped to leave school ready to achieve their dreams and fulfil their goals. In addition to English, Maths and Science we continue to reintroduce more of the creative subjects. We know the impact these can have on building confidence and an enjoyment of school. We want students to have the chance to exhibit their talents, be it in drama, dance, music or sport. The Academy’s stunning theatre, dance studio, music practice rooms and sporting facilities are second to none and we look forward to sharing these talents with you as parents/carers through performances at school.
The Wellington Academy sits at the heart of the community. It is here to serve and we work closely with charities and our local primary schools. We provide support in the delivery of subjects such as French and run sports days. We value our close ties with other organisations; it is likely that your child will already know us well! Our links with the army are very strong; we welcome the diversity and cultural variety its presence gives to the school. Children who have recently moved from other parts of the country, returned from abroad and those who have joined our Boarding House, offer an insight into an international world with all its unlimited potential.
