Facilities Assistant

We are a large infant school with three classes in each year group and the added benefit of a nursery and a specialist speech and language provision.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now, and in the future.
At Acorn Academy we offer an opportunity to be part of a friendly and supportive team. Staff work collaboratively in teams across the school to share the responsibility for planning and delivering the curriculum.

Acorn Academy is part of the Bridge Academy Trust: a collegiate and collaborative Trust, where, first and foremost, each school is a place of high quality learning, where young people ENJOY, ENRICH, ACHIEVE & ASPIRE. The core purpose is to provide high quality continuity of every child’s journey through education from 3 to 19, with a community and school-led school improvement approach and long-term sustainable strategy. Bridge Academy Trust is committed to its people strategy and prioritises staff’s development to ensure they too can enjoy, enrich, achieve and aspire.
