Due to the recent growth of the school, a new opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, committed and experienced Behaviour Support Officer at The Portsmouth Academy; one of the most improved secondary schools in the country (top 20% under the new progress measures).
We are part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, at the heart of which is the belief that the work we do must transform the life chances of our students. We believe that the best way to do this is to actively shape minds, attitudes and habits through a framework of cognitive education.
The Behaviour Support Officer's principal responsibility is to support the implementation of the school’s behaviour policy, under the supervision of the Assistant Principal: Making Excellence a Habit.
The right candidate for the role will have high levels of motivation, energy and commitment with the ability to work to build positive relationships with students, staff, parents and carers. They will work well as part of a team and be willing to have a profile around the school, carrying out duties and ensuring the academy’s high expectations for behaviour are maintained.
Visits to the school are encouraged and can be arranged by contacting the Executive PA, Sue Wood at the school.
Early applications are encouraged and we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

We believe strongly in nurturing children throughout their time at The Portsmouth Academy to build positive habits, develop an awareness of their strengths and support them in developing areas they would like to improve. We work with our students so that they are aspirational and ready for their next steps and, most importantly, understand their role and place both within their local community and beyond.
“The curriculum is well designed and well considered. The intention of the curriculum is to transform the life chances of pupils in the school. The ambition, breadth and content of the curriculum contribute to this intention. Curriculum development is purposeful and ongoing” – Ofsted, 2022
The Academy is focused on providing an inclusive education for all children and ensuring that every child has access to the same opportunities. The Portsmouth Academy’s vision and ethos is rooted in developing aspirational and self-reflective learners who are able to think for themselves and be valuable members of their community. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum in both KS3 and 4, placing significant importance on cultural capital alongside academic achievement.
The Portsmouth Academy is a “Microsoft Showcase School” due to our approach to digital learning. The academy has launched a one:one device policy, so every child in Year 7 and Year 8 has their own laptop, and we are particular interested in finding teachers who have experience of, or would like to develop experience of, teaching with technology.
Tours of the school are highly recommended. To arrange a tour please email Nicky Brown Nicky.Brown@tpa.tsat.uk
At The Portsmouth Academy, we are a proud member of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust. This enables us to create a unique offer for children: an "all-through" educational journey in which they remain with the same family of schools throughout their education. We are committed to the ethos of excellence and a whole school approach to the teaching of thinking skills.
We are one of five primary schools and one secondary school in Portsmouth to benefit from Thinking Schools' award-winning resources, curriculum, and collaboration opportunities.
Thinking Schools Academy Trust
The Thinking Schools Academy Trust is a family of schools consisting of both primary and secondary schools across Kent, Hampshire and Plymouth.
We believe that every young person in our community deserves to have the best opportunities at life regardless of their individual circumstances.
Education is the key to transforming life chances and we support and develop every member of our community to:
- Think about their Thinking
- Be their Best self
- Shape their Success
In this way we transform life chances
