Fairfax Multi Academy Trust is a family of schools aiming to develop articulate, resilient and ambitious students, regardless of background, with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to excel in modern Britain. We want the very best for all our students across the trust because we believe that demographics should not determine destiny.
We have over 3000 students across our four campuses around the city of Birmingham and almost half of those students are eligible for free school meals. We are looking for dedicated professionals who want to take on the challenge of eradicating educational disadvantage: why should a child's life chances be decided by their postcode or background? We believe that every child deserves the same high standard of education to change their lives.
Each of our four campuses across the city of Birmingham has a traditional approach with old-fashioned values where courtesy, manners and respect are central . You can find live vacancies by clicking on our campus pages below:

Each academy is an environment where excellence is a daily pursuit that is expected through high standards of presentation and quality of work. We believe there is dignity in hard work and our dedicated staff go the extra mile for our students to not only ensure that they succeed academically, but develop a depth of character through their everyday and extra-curricular experiences. We expect every child to challenge themselves, fostering our students' aspirations, supporting them to overcome obstacles to pursue their goals and achieve their ambitious aims in life.
We are looking for more dedicated professionals to join our family to contribute to our mission, exuding and extending our values.
Our core values and beliefs:
· Excellence – We strive for the highest quality to ensure excellent outcomes
· Dedication – We believe there is dignity in hard work and effort
· Ambition – We want the very best for our students
· Integrity – We believe in openness and transparency
· Tradition – We believe in old fashioned manners, courtesy and respect
