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
significant strengths which have been celebrated 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.

Sandhill
View (November 2025): Pupils, including the most vulnerable, speak powerfully
and with warmth about the positive impact of the school’s work. Trust and
school leaders act in pupils’ best interests. Leaders are high profile around
the school. They are welcoming to pupils and model the positive, consistent
approach that they expect of staff. This has helped leaders to build a staff
team that fully embraces the trust and school ethos that if ‘you get it right
for the most vulnerable you get it right for everyone’. Pupils appreciate the support and care that
they receive. As one pupil commented, ‘No matter who you are, you get support
at this school.’

We
are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, inspiring teacher who can spark an
interest and thirst for knowledge in young people.

You will be:

• a well-qualified teacher with a passion for the
  subject
• an excellent classroom teacher
• unwavering in your commitment to engage pupils and
  build excellent 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 in Maths
• A-level teaching within your specialism if
  you want development in this area
• 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.
