Calling all graduates - in English - or an appropriately similar subject. You might be an English graduate who wants to share your passion for your subject so that students truly invest in themselves as readers and writers. Or, you might be a Historian, who is interested in the textuality of History and how it has influenced the development of society. Or, you might be a Sociologist interested in how students develop language and an understanding of the world and – fundamentally – a fluency in language and meaning. Alternatively, you could be an Arts specialist – passionate about texts in performance, but also in how the text itself drives meaning on the stage.

The Academy joined Maltby Learning Trust on 1st April 2017 and secured an OFSTED Good judgement in September 2021. We are now oversubscribed each year and we are very fortunate to be housed in a new building with state-of-the-art facilities.

Our team of dedicated staff ensure that students feel safe and receive the best pastoral and academic support and challenge throughout their time in the school. We further develop the cultural capital of students through a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular activities and broader enrichment opportunities.
We take an inclusive approach that maintains a focus on the wellbeing and progress of every child; we provide a safe place for learning through the application of our positive behaviour system and attention to individual student circumstances and needs. We firmly believe that students will ultimately achieve better results by establishing a positive and supportive partnership between parents/carers and teachers.
Our students are our biggest strength, they are honest, hardworking, aspirational, and willing to take themselves out of their comfort zone.
