Beyond academic credentials, we firmly believe in the value of a more rounded education which promotes creativity, self-belief and confidence, and as such, offer an exceptional extra-curricular programme. Isca Academy was found to be ‘good’ in all categories and our focus will remain on every student in our school exceeding expectations, whatever their starting point.

At the Academy we are committed to investing in leadership development at all levels and we have a firm belief that by investing here along with teaching staff and front line support services, the experience for the children will ultimately improve and be sustained. If you are a leader who can inspire both staff and students, with a love of learning and an outward facing approach to the development of inclusive practices, we would be interested in your application.  If you feel that you can bring something to our team, we look forward to welcoming you!
