A Rare Opportunity to Join a Unique School 

The Elizabethan Academy is an oversubscribed and highly popular 11-19 stand-alone academy with a fantastic reputation for supporting all students and staff in equal measure. We recognise that our staff are our most important asset, and we are committed to protecting their wellbeing while providing high-quality training and development opportunities. 

We are immensely proud to be an outward-facing and innovative stand-alone academy. Teachers are given the freedom to be creative in their pedagogy while ensuring that every child receives the high-quality education they deserve. We also recognise the value of subject expertise and place strong emphasis on this through our tailored CPD programme. We believe that teachers learn even more from observing others than from being observed themselves, and we have a strong commitment to coaching as a tool for professional growth. 

This is an exciting time to join the Academy. Under the direction of a new Principal, a number of positive changes have already been implemented, with more planned in the near future to support our journey toward excellence. 

Why Join Us? 

• Extensive Professional Development – We offer structured career progression, leadership training, secondment opportunities, coaching, mentoring, and support for staff undertaking NPQs. 

• A Culture of Collaboration and Coaching – We believe in the power of coaching to develop teachers at all stages of their careers, ensuring they feel supported and continuously improve. 

• Wellbeing and Staff Support – We are proud to be a Brilliant School and have recently been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools. 

• A Commitment to Excellence – Our most recent OFSTED inspection (February 2024) judged the academy as Good with many outstanding features. 

• A Fully Inclusive Environment – We foster a welcoming and diverse community where everyone feels valued. 

• Modern Facilities – Our staff and students benefit from excellent facilities in our purpose-built school.
