About The Oaks Academy
General Information for Applicants from the Headteacher
Thank you for expressing an interest in joining us here at The Oaks Academy. The Oaks Academy is an 11-16 school, situated in the former grammar school, in a pleasant area of traditional housing in Crewe. The school is part of The Learning Partnership trust and I joined the school as headteacher in January 2021. Previously I have held roles in the Trust as headteacher in another of our schools and also led the provision of trust teacher training and national leadership training qualifications.
The Oaks Academy was graded ‘Good’ in all areas at our most recent Ofsted Inspection in April 2024. We are committed to making the Oaks the school of choice for our local community. Our examination results last summer demonstrate the rapid rate of success the school is making, with GCSE results now a half a grade higher than in previous years. We are now routinely oversubscribed, with over 60% more pupils on roll compared with recent years and first choice applications for year 7 up by 25% for September 2024. This is because the community has confidence in the school and the offer we provide to pupils and families. Attendance is consistently above national and Cheshire East averages, indicating our pupils are happy and want to attend school.
Well qualified, caring and committed staff are critical to delivering a balanced and rounded education with a focus on all pupils achieving their potential. We will support you with a range of professional development experiences through in-house CPD including an internationally recognised teacher qualification in TEEP (Teacher Effective Enhancement Programme), endorsed by the SSAT and the opportunity to be part of the national Effective Formative Assessment programme, endorsed by Dylan William. There is also a wealth of professional training opportunities available via the trust’s staff development programme. The trust provides a well-established initial teacher training programme, an early career teacher programme, and a range of professional development opportunities. By joining our school, you will also benefit from shared in-service training and links with our partner schools. Being part of The Learning Partnership will mean you would benefit from our networking and close collaboration with departments, faculties and other areas of provision as part of our school.
We provide for pupils of all abilities and differing backgrounds, and as part of our team you would gain significant experience of areas beyond your subject discipline. We consider safeguarding our children as an absolute priority and we ensure staff receive regular support and relevant training. We have a strong SEND provision as well as a bespoke programme for more able pupils, including masterclasses after school. You will be attached to a year team and act as a Form Tutor, as we encourage active involvement in all aspects of the school.
We work in partnership with pupils, parents and carers to improve outcomes, but we are equally passionate about the personal and social development of pupils outside of the classroom and encourage pupils to take part in a range of extra-curricular programmes and opportunities to develop as lifelong learners.
I would encourage you to visit our website (www.theoaksacademy.co.uk) to get a fuller understanding of life here at The Oaks Academy and if you have any questions that you would like to ask please do not hesitate to contact us. I very much hope that you want to join our team and I look forward to receiving an application from you.
