We are a family of academies who share one vision:

To provide the highest quality education for young

people in the communities we serve.

Our vision goes beyond our own Trust. We want to

contribute to the broader regeneration of our region by empowering our students

to have high aspirations, achieve excellent outcomes and enjoy learning.

We aim to achieve our vision by being an excellent employer who ensures that all

staff within and across our academies work together with high levels of moral

integrity. We base every decision around one fundamental question: how will

things improve for our young people as a result of this?

Our Academies share one vision and implement the

same policies, but we are proud that each has its own unique identity. Staff

collaborate within and across academies. We are committed to continually

developing all staff so that they have high levels of satisfaction and are

motivated to provide the best possible teaching and support to our students. We

have the organisational expertise to support our academies and to support the

sustainable growth of the Trust.

We are

committed to the recruitment, retention and development of excellent staff, who

are passionate about building positive relationships and improving the life

chances of our young people.

Our academies recognise the huge potential in our students;

we have high expectations and insist on high standards for all.Both

academies have been evaluated as ’good’ in all areas by Ofsted:

Southmoor (Ofsted September 2022): Leaders

at Southmoor Academy have created a welcoming culture with high ambition for the

pupils. Pupils and teachers get along very well. Behaviour in school is

positive. There is very little low-level disruption. This means that teachers

can teach uninterrupted. Staff enjoy working at the school and they are proud

to work here. There is a strong sense of teamwork. Staff recognise the efforts

that leaders have made to manage workload.

Southmoor 16-19 study: Students are mature

and sensible. Current students in Years 12 and 13 are making good progress on

their chosen courses because teaching is consistently good and members of staff

are on hand to support them every step of the way. In 2024 Southmoor’s 6th

form achieved the highest results in the city, and the level 3 Value Added

score in 2025 is the highest it has been.

Sandhill View (Ofsted September 2021): ‘Leaders have put in a

place an ambitious curriculum to challenge pupils and encourage them to aim

high… Curriculum leaders have organised

the topics in each subject so that pupils can build on what they already know.

Pupils learn effectively in lessons because they enjoy learning, and their

behaviour is good.’

We are looking for an exceptional Teacher of Business/ICT

to deliver all aspects of the curriculum.

The successful candidate will be:

  • A well-qualified practitioner with a passion for

the subject

  • An excellent classroom teacher
  • Unwavering in their commitment to engage pupils and

build positive relationships

  • A team-player who will take full advantage of our

dedicated CPD and support network

  • Someone with a real drive to secure successful

pupil outcomes

We offer:

  • The opportunity to work with other highly

successful teachers

  • Support to grow within an organisation that

wants you to be happy and successful, and implements innovative strategies to

support this

  • Ambitious pupils taught in an environment

where outstanding academic progression is the highest priority; nearly half of

all KS4 pupils at Southmoor Academy (and an increasing number of pupils from

Sandhill View Academy) go on to study ‘A’ levels within the Trust.
