• the support of a highly capable educational and operational regional team 
• extensive CPD opportunities

Part of the E-ACT family

We are an E-ACT academy and proud to be part of a community that includes over 18,000 pupils and 2,300 teaching and non-teaching professionals across the country.

E-ACT multi-academy trust is responsible for 28 academies across the length and breadth of England.

Our academies can collaborate and share ideas with one another in ways that schools may not be able to. Most importantly, we all feel part of something much bigger as our responsibilities go far beyond the four walls of a single academy, and extend to people and their communities across the country.

We are always on the lookout for dynamic, motivated and enthusiastic people so we can continue to give every one of our pupils the opportunity to explore, solve, create and achieve.

In return we offer the chance to work with amazing people and inspirational pupils, as well as a great salary and sector-leading work-life balance arrangements.

What we value

Our values are our anchor point and underpin all we do. 

THINKING BIG

For themselves and for the world around them by thinking beyond the four walls of their academy, and having the belief that anything they aspire to achieve is possible through hard work.

DOING THE RIGHT THING

In all that they do by carefully thinking through their decisions, even when it means doing something that’s hard or takes a lot of time.

SHOWING TEAM SPIRIT

By supporting one another, and knowing that by working together great things can be achieved.
