Your Opportunity

Phoenix St Peter Academy has been on a journey since academisation and we are proud of the continued upward trajectory of improvement seen over the past three years. We are now at the stage where a new member of the leadership team will secure and realise our future success – your contribution will play a fundamental part in this. We will help you to develop your own career within a supportive team and we want to listen and learn from you too. 

We have built excellent relationships within our school and local community; as a result we benefit from a strong and effective Friends of Phoenix group, parental support due to leading youth groups and firm links with St Peter and St John’s Church.

You will be part of a school established in developing practitioners and nurturing excellent future leaders. We look for talented individuals who want to be part of transforming education and creating an exceptional place of learning. With high aspirations for our staff and pupils, we expect our children to make good progress and develop the skills and personal qualities they need for the future.
