We have undergone a change in our age range (2016) and are now accepting students aged 11-16 (previously 11-14), similarly to many schools in this area. This has been an exciting time for the Academy and has afforded a period of growth and expansion to both our premises and staffing levels.

• Have a demonstrable passion for their subject and convey this in a classroom setting.
• Lead and manage SEND in accordance with the published policies (local and national).
• Have the ability to inspire and motivate colleagues and students to promote co-operation, collaboration and teamwork.
• Liaise with and develop relationships with external agencies and parents.
• Identify and support the needs of students with SEND through observation, screening and tracking of progress data.
Welland Park will provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to:
• Join a school with a clear vision to deliver world class standards of education to our community.
• Play an integral role in the evolution of this ambitious 11 – 16 school.
• Work with well-established, cohesive, committed and supportive departments and Senior Leadership Team.

‘Pupils are confident, resilient learners who are not afraid to make mistakes.' Ofsted 2019
We are delighted to have received an award of ‘good’ from Ofsted in 2019; this is a result of continued hard work from highly dedicated students, staff and governors. Additionally, a number of national awards reflect our determination and ambition as a school including:
• British Dyslexia Association Kitemark
• Arts Mark
• Career Mark
• Anti-Bullying Award 2016
• International Schools Award 2015-2018
We have high expectations of all members of our school community; we set high standards for achievement, behaviour and attitudes in a positive, safe and caring environment. All students follow a challenging curriculum in preparation for GCSE’s with opportunities to learn 2 out of 3 different modern foreign languages for students who excel in that area. There is additional support for less able students through a targeted withdrawal programme and extra provision within the classroom. Our technology status lends itself to a rich curriculum where academic attainment is high and students develop a spectrum of skills to equip them for a changing future.
Our students enjoy an extensive array of extra – curricular activities and curriculum enrichment particularly Sports, Music and Languages. Many students undertake the residential trips we offer both within the UK and abroad, they also use opportunities to develop their leadership through our Sports Leadership award and Peer Mentoring scheme.
The strength at WPA is the quality of relationships between all of our staff and youngsters. We share the aim of working to provide high quality lessons and activities to ensure our students embrace a positive approach to lifelong learning and achieve their potential. We work in partnership with all stakeholders to achieve the best for our students, please feel free to contact us and arrange a visit.
