Headteachers PA

Thank you for your interest in working at Q3 Academy Great Barr.

Whether you are beginning your teaching journey or looking for the next post in your career, we all know being a teacher is a demanding job that requires passion and energy. If you have a genuine interest in helping young people learn and develop, then our students will pay you back in spades. The passage below, from our website, sets out our philosophy and the following pages will give you some flavour of how we go about our work. Please feel free to contact us for an informal chat or visit. I look forward to meeting you.

Mr Chris Bury, Headteacher

Our educational philosophy is simple. First and foremost, we want every child to feel happy and excited about coming to the Academy. Only when each child feels secure and comfortable can we challenge them to grow and learn together. We want our students to return home telling their families of the memorable exciting learning experiences they have enjoyed. Experiences that make it easier to recall the detail necessary for exam success and experiences that develop their character as much as their academic potential.

Our passion is helping young people to flourish and become confident capable adults ready for the world ahead.

This passion creates a genuine warmth that supports every member of our community. Our traditional family values and Trust ethos, ‘Life to the full in pursuit of what is good, right, and true’ helps to keep the academic and well-being of every child sharply in focus and drives our ambition for continual improvement.

Only if our staff can say that what we provide is good enough for their own children is it good enough for yours and I’m proud to say this commitment to care, coupled with high academic ambition is helping all our young people to succeed.
