Job overview
Could you be part of a highly successful academy where traditional values of discipline and respect underpin exceptional achievement?
Then take your career forward with the Rodillian Multi Academy Trust (MAT). Our approach is built on the success of The Rodillian Academy - the most improved school in the North of England with an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ grading for behaviour.
We have developed a pioneering Positive Discipline framework that’s transformed the behaviour, atmosphere and culture in our schools. By supporting staff in the classroom, we ensure that teachers can get on with teaching children who want to learn and who behave well.
The Rodillian MAT includes The Rodillian Academy itself, as well as The Featherstone Academy, BBG Academy, Brayton Academy and Southway. The trust also has contracts for school improvement work with the Leeds Jewish Free School, John Smeaton Academy, Eskdale School and recently University Academy Keighley.
We now seek an inspiring and ambitious Teacher of History to work within the Trust. The successful candidate will work with a successful, committed and hardworking team. The RMAT has a reputation for high expectations for all, an innovative curriculum and excellent staff/student relationships.
This is a real opportunity for you to make your mark, and as a growing Multi-Academy Trust with an excellent reputation, there are always opportunities for career development and further career progression for resilient and committed colleagues.

The Rodillian Academy is where our Trust's journey began.
Rodillian Academy serves the communities of Rothwell, Woodlesford, Oulton and other areas of South Leeds including, Middleton, Belle Isle and Hunslet. It is an 11-18 school with an expanding post 16 provision which includes A-Levels and Level 3 vocational qualifications.
Housed in a £27 million building which opened in 2008 the academy is equipped with state-of-the-art SMART digital screens in every classroom, one of the first schools in the country to embrace such technologies. The other facilities include a dance studio, two gyms, recording studio, lecture theatre and top quality outdoor sports areas. We are extremely proud of our sporting excellence and have developed elite Rugby Union and Netball Academies who have competed on a national level regularly beating many of the top private schools in both disciplines. We take 10% of our year 7 entry based on sporting aptitude.
Behaviour in the academy is exceptional and something of which we are very proud. Our judgement was supported by Ofsted in 2012 and again in 2016 where we gained an ‘Outstanding’ for ‘Personal development, behaviour and welfare’. We do not tolerate bullying, defiance or rudeness to staff and this has made for a harmonious and safe learning environment for our young people and a supportive environment for staff, where they can concentrate their efforts on teaching and their own continuing professional development.
Rodillian is a happy academy where students and staff show respect, consideration, and kindness.
