A Mastery Curriculum

Strong Discipline
Character Development

This is an exciting stage in the academy’s development as we continue to grow towards full capacity. We currently have pupils from Nursery to Year 6 and Years 7 to 12.
The academy staff, pupils and parents are incredibly aligned, committed and passionate about our school. We have been graded as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted and pupils make rapid progress in our calm, purposeful and happy environment.
We are very enthusiastic about the unique teaching model we are developing for our Key Stage 2 phase which came into effect in September 2016 for our founding Year 3 cohort. The model has been developed in line with our pillars and is aimed at providing pupils in the primary phase with high quality specialist subject teaching. Now we are looking to recruit a Primary Head of Humanities to join our team. The role will involve being the Head of Humanities for the whole of the primary phase and teaching specialist humanities and science lessons in Key stage 2. We want our Head of Humanities to develop a truly outstanding humanities curriculum and work alongside teachers to deliver this in a highly effective way; teaching and modelling excellent teaching, co-planning and coaching.
This is a wonderful opportunity to be a member of a school that is breaking the mould by giving pupils from relatively disadvantaged backgrounds a type and standard of education previously the preserve of the best fee-paying schools., enabling primary and secondary specialists to work together in creating a content-rich, cumulative and coherent curriculum across phases.
