If you possess these qualities and share the Academy’s vision, then we will be delighted to hear from you. Applications are welcome from both experienced Teachers and NQT’s.

John Smeaton Academy is a comprehensive school serving the east of Leeds with excellent educational facilities recently built under the Government’s ‘Building School’s for the Future’ initiative. In addition to the main school building, with state of the art ICT facilities throughout, children also have access to the recently rebuilt community sports centre.

Our staff have all chosen to work at John Smeaton Academy because we all share the same dream – we want to make a difference to the life chances of young people in an increasingly competitive world.

Our parents and students tell us we listen to them and actively seek their opinions on a wide range of issues. Our students believe that learning is relevant to them, they enjoy their learning, and are increasingly ambitious and aspirational. Parents and carers believe we are providing their children with an enjoyable learning experience in a safe and secure learning environment.

It is our continued aim to make John Smeaton Academy the school of first choice for our local community. To this end we are committed to working closely with our feeder primary schools and the wider community.
