Job overview

The School 

The CE AP Academy was the first of its kind (an Alternative Provision Academy). 

We specialise in the teaching of pupils many of whom present challenging behaviours and have been permanently excluded or are at risk of exclusion from their schools. 

We are a multi-sited, countywide provision and staff are offered extensive induction and further training. 

The Role 

We are looking for special people with great enthusiasm, energy and vigour to join us at the CE Academy.

All CE Academy staff are expected to work directly with young people. The post calls for an exceptional ability to get on well with challenging young people, their parents/carers, colleagues and representatives of other agencies, to work flexibly and conscientiously both as a member of a team and independently. The successful applicants will be expected to assist the teachers in supporting the work of pupils. 

The work will take place within and beyond the classroom and will include direct work with pupils and the preparation of materials, display work etc.

The successful applicants may be expected to work from other Academy sites from time to time. There may be a requirement to travel throughout the county, transporting children where necessary and this requirement may be at short notice.

Our motto is “Freedom to choose a different future”. This was chosen by our young people and recognises our belief that everyone should have the opportunity to access a high quality education.

The CE Academy provides alternative education for young people who are permanently excluded from school or dual registered. We respond to the educational needs of pupils who would otherwise be attending mainstream/special schools. We have positive expectations of behaviour and academic expectations are high and related to young people’s abilities.

We promote both the right to fail and the importance of giving all young people the freedom to choose a different future. We take a holistic approach to education, promoting an ethos and culture built on fairness, equality and mutual respect. This provides an environment in which young people can be encouraged and supported to make the right choices which lead to positive outcomes.

The staff team at CE Academy are committed to ensuring that all of our young people are at the heart of everything we do. They work tirelessly to enable them to make progress with their social and communication skills as well as achieving academic and vocational success.

We provide all young people with a personalised timetable designed to meet their social, emotional and academic needs. The curriculum on offer provides opportunities to develop cultural capital and for both personal development and academic success. We take great pride in ensuring every young person has a destination when they leave us at the end of Year 11.

As Headteacher I am proud to lead an experienced and dedicated group of staff. We pride ourselves on our relationships with our young people, families and communities. Strong relationships and working together are at the heart of our ethos.

As part of Tove Learning Trust (TLT) the CE Academy benefits from working in partnership with an established network of schools to continue to provide outstanding opportunities for our young people.
