Student Learning Facilitator

At The Quest Academy we maintain a calm and positive learning environment where students are focused and engaged.

We believe in providing the broadest and richest educational experience, with a highly developed cultural curriculum offer including numerous trips and visits, a wide range of clubs and societies, sports fixtures and a thriving Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.

All staff are provided with the necessary tools and conditions to flourish. These tools are wide ranging and include essentials such as robust behaviour systems which ensure disruption free learning, no requirement for book marking, modern facilities and the support of Subject Team Leaders and the Collegiate Trust Education Team.

Further to this, all teachers benefit from our innovative Professional Development Programme which consists of:

· Regular, weekly CPD (2 x 45 minute slots on a Monday)

· 1 hour every fortnight of additional non-contact time specifically to implement pedagogical improvement (for example observing colleagues, engaging in reading etc.)

· 1-1 coaching for all teachers

· An Appraisal system driven by staff engagement with pedagogical development through your Professional Development Journal and bespoke Inquiry Question

· NPQs and Masters programmes available to all staff.

We are also very fortunate to occupy a stunning 17-million-pound building with extensive grounds which we moved into in 2014. We have also invested in nearly one million pounds of cutting-edge IT equipment to support all aspects of Academy life.

The Academy is committed to ensuring that each student succeeds academically and personally. Our motto, Learning Changes Lives reflects our belief in the importance of our work. We are committed to making sure that every student makes outstanding progress. We have high expectations of every student, offer the best quality teaching and insist on the highest standards of behaviour and respect.

Strong moral values underpin the ethos of The Quest Academy. We welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds and expect all families to value and support the moral values at the heart of all aspects of life at the Academy. We foster understanding, tolerance and mutual respect whilst producing confident, capable and respectful young people. At all times, we aim to create an environment that nurtures and develops:

· Integrity

· Kindness

· Compassion

· Courage

· Respect

· Generosity

· Tolerance

· A life-long love of learning

These values make the Academy a positive and inclusive community in which all students feel safe, valued and part of the family.

Quest6, our Sixth Form, provides a positive, rich and innovative learning environment where every student can achieve excellence in all that they do, in the classroom and beyond it. We offer a wide range of enrichment activities to extend learning in a range of contexts and promote leadership, teamwork, reflection, confidence and high self-esteem.
