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.
