About Tewkesbury Academy
Tewkesbury Academy is an exciting place to learn and work, with a student body of over 1,200 and upwards of 150 colleagues. We serve the distinctive town of Tewkesbury and surrounding villages, with its renowned historical, musical and ecological festivals each year. The sense of community and connectedness is strong at the Academy, as is support from the wider business community, and this is reflected in the plethora of personal development opportunities at the school.
Being ready, respectful and responsible is a key tenet of life at Tewkesbury Academy, where we provide a calm and supportive environment and expect commitment and hard work from students and staff alike to ensure that they feel supported and challenged to produce their best.
Tewkesbury Academy joined the CLF in July 2023 and is the founding school in the Gloucestershire Cluster. Since that time, two sibling schools have joined: Queen Margaret’s Primary Academy in Tewkesbury and Brook Academy in Brockworth. It is an exciting time to join the school as we design the future of the cluster and how we will impact positively beyond our own academy walls.
Tewkesbury Academy’s last inspection was under the predecessor school in Autumn 2022 – published January 2023 – where the Academy was designated to ‘Requires Improvement’. A year later, and there has been rapid improvement in the key areas of SEND, early reading and behaviour. The staff and leadership teams are engaged in a relentless drive for the Academy to regain Good and then move beyond that to be the great school this community deserves.
By joining us, you will be able to seize the chance to make a real difference to the lives of our students and help us to realise our ambition for a great provision. We have a strong ethos and high expectations for every child, and this is reflected in the rigour of the approaches and strategies being used to raise attainment, secure our culture and generate genuine aspiration and ambition amongst our cohort.
