A unique opportunity to join an outstanding academy
We are looking for an inspirational individual to join our forward thinking, innovative and dynamic academy to ensure our Outstanding, World Class provision is not only retained but is also built upon.
Judged Outstanding for the first time in 2009 and re-designated as Outstanding in every Ofsted category in May 2013 we have a track record of excellence both in terms of student outcomes and professional development. Working within the nationally renowned GORSE Academies Trust led by Sir John Townsley we were awarded Teaching School Status in March 2012 and in September 2015 our School Centred Initial Teacher Training Centre opened supporting the development of over 90 trainee teachers. On 1 December 2016 The Morley Academy was officially recognised as a World Class School, one of only 48 in the country.
Our examination results are extremely impressive and includes value added data which places us amongst the very top performing schools nationally. The 2017 GCSE results placed The Morley Academy as the top performing school in Leeds for Grade 4 English & Mathematics and the indicative Progress 8 score is +0.63. The final Progress 8 score will be known soon but a figure of +0.63 would place the academy in the top 5% of schools nationally with students, on average, achieving two-thirds of a grade higher in each of their GCSE subjects than other students nationally.
This role represents an incredibly exciting opportunity for any candidate who is eager to be a part of an organisation that seeks to secure the very highest educational standard for every student. Our students receive Outstanding pastoral care, support and guidance and we would expect any successful candidate to be of a mind-set where they believe anything is possible. Likewise, our professional body also benefits from Outstanding CPD and support which is personalised to your particular needs and experience.
If you are excited about the prospect of this opportunity, we would be delighted to hear from you.
An application pack which provides further details of the role is available to download directly from our website at www.tgat.org.uk/jobs, or by email to recruitment@morley.leeds.sch.uk. Please note if you submit an electronic application we will not require a hard copy. CVs are not accepted.
Closing date: Monday 16 October 2017, 9.00am
Interview date: Wednesday 18 October 2017
The Morley Academy is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children, and applicants will be subject to full employment checks, including an enhanced DBS disclosure.
