Teacher of Business Studies

Lawn Manor Academy is proud to be part of Ascend Learning Trust. We were the first school to join ALT in September 2017 and we enjoy close links with all ALT schools. We believe that within each child there is a real potential to achieve and that as teachers, it is our job to ensure that this potential is met through their academic studies and high expectations.

Lawn Manor Academy is an all-ability school and we place great emphasis on inclusive education. We have an excellent pastoral care system to support pupils and the community. We offer a rounded curriculum to suit children of all abilities with excellent facilities to support this. We take pride in the focus we give to each child as an individual and how we help them to develop and grow to achieve well and be a good citizen.

We have an ambitious vision for our school with a robust strategy for achieving it. Our I Learn values are at the heart of our strategies for success.

Working at Lawn Manor Academy is both rewarding and inspiring. We are an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and different cultures daily. We are committed to extremely high standards of behaviour and have fostered an environment where the relationships that exist within the school, and the polite and respectful atmosphere that we enjoy, are commented on by all who visit our school.

By teaching our pupils how to demand the best of themselves, we will send them out into the world ready to embrace the challenges they will meet; whether they are in the boardroom, on the stage, in the lab or on the sports field at home or abroad. A positive mind-set is important at Lawn Manor Academy.

We take pride in “Inspiring and Creating Futures for All”.
