Description Chief Executive Officer: Lee Wilson Principal: Mark Golden We are a 11-16 academy based in the market town of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, on the eastern edge of the Erewash Valley which separates Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. We became part of the Outwood Family of Schools in 2022 and are yet to be inspected by Ofsted. We are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success and a positive climate for learning. We believe that learning should be both enjoyable and enriching. With a holistic view of education, we aim to create a safe and secure learning community that encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyles and empowers students to pursue career pathways they will find stimulating and deeply rewarding. We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice. The successful candidate needs to be extremely well organised, have the ability to prioritise workload, ensure strict deadlines are met. The ability to work on your own initiative, be a role model to others and work within a team environment is key. As we continue to improve and progress, help to take us to the next level. Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children. Whether you are ambitious for progression, or determined to be an outstanding member of our support teams, our Trust is for you. Leadership development, succession planning and capacity building are our major priorities as this enables us to facilitate rapid progression for those who want to advance at all levels. All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status. Our established and experienced Science department is a small department of 5 teachers and one technician with a close-knit family feel. With recent results rapidly improving, and exciting future developments of facilities, this post offers a fantastic opportunity to progress both within the department and across the wider school community.
