Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a self-motivated and passionate candidate who can fulfil the role of Year Leader (Y7) at Bluecoat Trent Academy. We are looking specifically for candidates with a desire to be part of the founding cohort of staff and the ambition to shape the school into an outstanding provider.

The staff team will be small initially, therefore the successful applicant will be expected to be proactive and demonstrate leadership over a variety of areas. The specific responsibilities of the successful applicant will include: 

  • Managing the behaviour, welfare, attendance and academic achievement of students within a designated year group. 
  • As a DSL, dealing with any safeguarding concerns for the students within their year group. 
  • Working closely with students, parents and staff to remove barriers to learning progress, the post holder will lead a team of tutors to support the development of high standards in all aspects of pupil behaviour, attitude and learning culture. 
  • Coordination of the Tutor-Time programme to ensure a positive start to the day. 
  • Regularly analysing data to inform and implement proactive, as well as reactive, intervention, mentoring or counselling to ensure our learning ethos develops a culture of support and pastoral care where every child can blossom and make rapid progress. 
  • Liaising with the Trust Lead for SEND to ensure the learning needs of SEN pupils are well catered for. 
  • Working as part of the wider Careers team to coordinate opportunity for their year group to access information, advice and guidance.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy. We recently welcomed three further secondary schools in Derby to the Trust and opened Bluecoat Trent Academy, a secondary Free School in Nottingham in September 2021.

The successful candidate will be committed to the students and academy life and will possess the ability to communicate effectively and be able to raise the standards of learning for all of the students that they are required to work with.

The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust makes this an excellent opportunity to join us, as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region.

The Bluecoat Trent Academy (BTA) opened its doors in September 2021 with the founding cohort of Year 7 students. BTA is an 11-16, non-faith school. For the first year BTA accommodates six forms of entry, growing to eight forms in subsequent years.

The new build for the academy will be built on the former site of Clarendon College, on the edge of Forest Fields, close to Mapperley Park. Whilst the new academy is being constructed BTA will, for the first two years, be based in its own building on the site of Bluecoat Aspley Academy on Aspley Lane.

The Bluecoat Trent Academy is committed to excellence for all; no matter what the starting point each individual will be supported in reaching their academic potential and striving to meet their goals. We provide extensive opportunities for our students to explore experiences beyond the classroom and discover their individual talents, be it on a sports field, in a theatre or leading an expedition.

We place equal value on ensuring our students grow and develop pastorally and socially. We aim that our students will make life-long friendships and, as in all of Archway’s family of schools, there will be a strong sense of community. Our students will feel they belong.
