The emphasis on good behaviour means that lessons are taught in an ordered and encouraging learning environment. Students are treated as individuals and we recognise and celebrate their different abilities. 

When our students leave us, we want them to have enjoyed their five years at Easington Academy. This means leaving with the best possible results and taking with them a store of happy memories.

In recent parental surveys, 99% of our parents said that they would recommend our school.     

Easington Academy has recently joined the North East Learning Trust - a family of schools that spans the North East. By joining the Trust we are now well positioned to help to take it from strength to strength offering our experience and expertise to other schools, whilst having wider access to shared resources and ideas ourselves.

Teachers joining Easington Academy join us as proud members of a Trust that is seeing rapid results across the region and one that places huge importance on staff development with opportunities at all levels to progress and reach your full potential.  

The successful candidate will join a team of committed and highly professional teachers in a supportive school which has an extremely successful academic record.  He/she will be required to teach across the ability range at Key Stage 3-4.
