I am immensely proud of our students, who possess a strong moral code and behave exceptionally well. They actively contribute to the community and understand the importance of fundamental British values.

We deliver a holistic education through our 5 pillars of learning and explicitly teach behaviors using positive discipline, ensuring all students know how to be safe, responsible, respectful, and extraordinary. Our staff's unwavering dedication is pivotal to this success.

We are seeking prospective colleagues who share our passion for developing well-rounded individuals and align with our core purpose. I look forward to welcoming you into our academy.

• Safeguarding & Welfare: Act as a key link for safeguarding, attending Case Conferences, recording incidents, and chairing multi-agency meetings (CIN/TAC).
• Attendance & Behaviour: Lead on attendance checks, conduct home visits with the EWO when necessary, and manage student readmissions and exclusions.
• Strategic Reporting: Analyse half-termly data to produce intervention booklets and present findings to the Senior Leadership Team.
• Operational Support: Supervise key social times (breakfast/break/lunch), coordinate year-group events (like Prom or residential trips), and respond to internal radio calls for lesson support.

This 12-month position to cover maternity leave and offers a unique vantage point into the operational leadership of the Academy. You will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, external agencies, and the Inclusion Coordinator, gaining invaluable experience in strategic intervention and multi-agency collaboration.
