Job overview
Ofsted Rated Good Provider!
King's Lynn Academy is a ‘good’ school for the first time in its history.
“Pupils feel cared for and supported because of leaders’ moral imperative to do what is best for them. Every pupil is made to feel like they belong and that they can achieve.” Ofsted has published its report on the inspection of King’s Lynn Academy on 17th and 18th May 2022 with all areas inspected achieving a Good grading for the first time in the academy’s history.
King’s Lynn Academy is an 11-16 secondary based in the heart of King’s Lynn in West Norfolk and is one of the fastest improving schools anywhere; a school that is transforming its sense of self-belief and ambition for a community that has never before had the officially ‘good’ school it so deserves. Since February of 2017, the leadership team has worked tirelessly to ensure that our pupils receive the best possible quality of teaching, support, care, guidance and safeguarding.
At King's Lynn Academy we are lucky to have an energised, skilful and committed staff who all work together to continue to make our school better. Relationships between staff, pupils and families are very strong, and our phenomenally energetic pastoral team communicate with families very proactively and their dedication to the children in our care is total. Our staff are our greatest asset, and we take their workload and home-school balance extremely seriously. All teaching staff benefit from at least twice the nationally recommended amount of non-contact time, which is provided to allow teams to plan and resource collaboratively – to ease this further we have sourced externally-written curricula for all core subjects to further reduce the amount of preparation time for colleagues.
As part of Eastern Multi-Academy Trust there are opportunities to access training programmes and qualifications to prepare for middle or senior management over time and wider opportunities to access apprenticeship programmes. The estate is bright, clean and airy with ample free parking for staff. The Academy has strong links with the community and is expecting further growth in pupil numbers in the years to come.

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in King’s Lynn Academy (KLA).
We are incredibly proud to have been recognised by Ofsted as a “Good” school in May 2022. This is an incredible achievement and we are very pleased to have the hard work and determination of the students, staff and KLA community, recognised.
At KLA we are lucky to have an energised, skilful and committed staff who work together to continue to make our school better. Relationships between staff, pupils and families are very strong, and our phenomenally energetic pastoral team are proactive in their communication with families and dedication towards the pupils.
We believe that this is a great place to be and to learn. Our motto is ‘success in all we do’. We do not put any ceilings on how high our students can go and we have high ambitions for everyone here. We are committed to a simple but powerful message: ‘achieving our full potential together’.
Our commitment to inclusion is reflected in our innovative ‘Forward Step’ base, created in 2018. The programme offers an outstanding educational provision, delivering support and a broad and balanced curriculum which meets the needs of each individual student, linking the academic and therapeutic through a wholly holistic approach. We are proud of its huge success, which has strongly contributed to our being able to reduce all forms of exclusion by over 95% in just two years.
Alongside curriculum and enrichment opportunities, KLA embraces community fund raising; together our students, parents and staff have raised more than £9000 for Macmillan and have welcomes more than 100 local elderly residents in for a celebratory Christmas lunch, cooked and provided by KLA staff and students.
The curriculum that we plan for our pupils is ambitious, with its aim being clear that all pupils, regardless of their circumstances or needs, are enabled to be as successful as possible both academically and socially. There are many ways that we support each pupil individually to achieve their goals, including support for the development of their character, resilience, community-spirit and mental health. Our innovative system of ‘Personal Development Plans’, including an entitlement to at least three developmental face to face meetings for every pupil every year, is designed to make sure every pupil gets the individual advice, guidance and support they need to be successful, and that parents are included at every step.
Everyone is constantly learning in our academy – including our staff. Regardless of how long you have been teaching, or where you are in your career, you are guaranteed first class professional development at KLA. We aim to support teachers in developing their subject knowledge as well as refining their teaching practice within their discipline. Alongside this we develop colleagues’ understanding of wider teaching theory more generally - their pedagogical content knowledge. Our aim is to put theory into practice, and our CPD programme looks to make tangible differences in the classroom.
About the Trust
We are proud to be part of the Eastern Multi-Academy Trust (EMAT), which consists of 12 primary schools and 1 secondary school across West Norfolk. As part of the Trust, we share their core values to Empower, Motivate, achieve and Transform our pupils.
