Zachary Academy is a fictional TEST secondary school set up by the TES to trial some of the systems it is launching shortly with teachers.

Founded in 1910, the TES began as the Times Educational Supplement newspaper. Over the decades that followed it expanded its recruitment services for schools, eventually launching a popular website which also features news and teacher-made classroom materials.

The name Zachary Academy was chosen for this test school because its initial letter would make it easier to spot in lists. We have not named it after a particular educator, historical character, actor or pet.

We welcome imaginary applicants who want to see what our systems are like. However, none of the jobs advertised here are real. This is purely for test purposes. This is not a real school.

Tes is not responsible for the content of advertisements or the policies adopted by advertising schools. Tes asks that all schools follow Tes' Fair Recruitment Policy.
