TLR 2c (current value: £2873p.a.)

Required for September 2022

Judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2010 and with a successful Section 8 inspection in February 2020, Yardleys is a thriving, vibrant and heavily oversubscribed 11-16 multi-ethnic stand-alone academy in Birmingham, with 933 students on roll. The diversity of the school population reflects the rich, cultural mix of the local area. 

The school is highly focused on raising standards of pupil achievement and is successful at doing so. Yardleys is consistently in the top 20% of schools nationally and last validated data (2019) showed a progress 8 score of +0.48. Attainment is above the national average in the core subjects of Maths, English and Science.

The school motto “Working together for a better future” is far more than just words.  The collaborative ethos which permeates the school is at the heart of our success. Excellent student behaviour and an extremely well organised school provide the foundation for teachers to focus on delivering outstanding lessons and continuously improving their practice.

We pride ourselves on offering all students the opportunity to develop skills needed to be successful global citizens. 

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious, vibrant and forward thinking leader, to take responsibility of the development and success of our EAL learners in this new post. We currently have over 70% EAL learners, a small minority of whom are newly arrived. We wish to ensure these students have access to a full broad and balanced curriculum whilst receiving bespoke, tailored support for their individual needs. The successful candidate will also be an outstanding MFL practitioner and see the importance of ensuring our students develop excellent communication skills.

Yardleys offers a commitment to professional development opportunities, an excellent induction programme, a healthcare package, well-behaved students who are keen to learn and state of the art facilities.
