South Pennine Academies is based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. We operate academies and preschools in Kirklees and Oldham in addition to the Huddersfield Horizon SCITT. We have extensive experience of operating educational establishments and taking at least one of these, Moor End Academy, to outstanding and sustaining this. We also have experience of opening Beaumont Primary Academy, a free school, in September 2016
South Pennine Academies has been successful in securing funding from the Department for Education’s second round of Strategic School Improvement Fund bids. Our project was borne out of a common need across participating schools in Oldham and Kirklees to improve outcomes in maths for disadvantaged students.
The title of our bid was:
Diminishing the differences for disadvantaged students in mathematics; developing teachers' and teaching assistants' subject knowledge and pedagogy alongside the strengthening of homeschool partnerships.
As part of the bid, the Trust has committed to employing three full time Maths Fellows who will support the delivery of interventions and raising the profile of maths as a subject and as a career choice with our staff, students and parents.
The project will run until May 2019 but there is potential for one of the post-holders to continue employment beyond this to ensure long-lasting impact beyond the life of the project.
If you like what you read and think you would like to be part of this exciting new project, we look forward to receiving your application.
Closing Date – 9am Monday 16th April 2018

Welcome to the South Pennine Academies
At South Pennine Academies, we want every student to have the best possible chance to achieve in school. Stronger partnerships with families, local businesses, community agencies and universities are essential as we focus on improving student outcomes.
South Pennine Academies is an exempt charity and a not for profit organisation. The Trust operates as a multi academy trust and in that respect is the employer across all the academies in the partnership. A multi Academy trust is simply a number of academies who agree to work together within an overarching trust body with a remit to co-ordinate matters of common interest referred collectively by the Governing Bodies.
South Pennine Academies has been developed to allow Moor End Academy to work formally in partnership with other academies, pre-schools and other organisations.
South Pennine Academies is also recognised by the DfE as an Academy Sponsor. Sponsors are held accountable for improving the performance of their schools and this involves taking responsibility for their performance and financial arrangements.
The trust is led by Lynda Johnson who is the Chief Executive Officer and Accounting Officer for the trust. She has a strong track record in school improvement supporting schools across a number of local authorities.
The Trust also operates Huddersfield Horizon SCITT, taking an increasing number of trainees, based at our new Head Office premises in Elland, West Yorkshire.
