Teacher of MFL (Spanish & French)

Brighton Aldridge Community Academy is a state funded entrepreneurial Academy, part of the Aldridge Education Multi-Academy Trust, with the specialism of sport and entrepreneurship for 11-18-year olds.  

We pride ourselves on ensuring students are equipped with the academic, social and emotional skills which will ensure they continue to thrive once they have left our school. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our mission is to ensure all BACA students benefit from an excellent education, secure great qualifications and develop into young adults who are the first-choice recruits for universities and employers. The academy’s motto is simple - “Believe you can”. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field or performing on stage, we inspire each of our students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to follow their passions into a successful future. 

Our students benefit from great teaching, an exceptional building and facilities as well as extensive opportunities in terms of enrichment, sport and the creative arts. Outcomes are strong and improving at Key Stage 4 and 5. Ofsted graded the school as 'Good' in 2016 and noted that the care, guidance and support that student receive is outstanding. Through encouraging an enterprising mindset, we enable students to thrive in today's rapidly changing world. We teach students to be innovative and resilient through promoting the Aldridge Attributes of teamwork, creativity, passion, problem-solving, risk-taking and determination in all aspects of academy life.

Brighton is a vibrant and young city with a cosmopolitan feel and way of life which attracts people from all around the world. This is enhanced by the addition of two universities, University of Brighton and University of Sussex, and a wealth of cultural treasures. An exciting seaside city with an excellent quality of life with its coffee bars, restaurants, pubs, night clubs and theatres. Wander through 'The Laines' enjoying the boutique shopping, and street entertainers.

Aldridge Education is a charitable trust whose entrepreneurial community schools help young people to reach their potential. We support our Principals and teachers in rapidly improving the quality of education on offer at early years, primary, secondary and sixth-form levels in order to transform the life-chances of our students. 

Aldridge Education was established as a national multi-academy trust by the Aldridge Foundation in 2016, taking over responsibility from the Foundation for its family of non-selective academy schools and colleges, some of which are part of the multi academy trust whilst others are currently independent Trusts sponsored by Aldridge Education. 

Sir Rod Aldridge launched the Aldridge Foundation in 2006 after retiring from Capita Plc, the business he set up and which became one of this country’s most successful companies. Our shared belief is that by introducing young people to, and helping develop in them, the core attributes of entrepreneurship, we can provide context and relevance to their learning, foster creativity, passion, determination, risk taking, problem solving and teamwork. These characteristics help our students achieve in their education and acquire further vital skills for adult life.
