About Haughton Academy
The Education Village Academy Trust is located in Darlington, in the North East of England. It brings together two primary schools, a secondary school, a large all-age multi-need special and a SEMH free school.
The Education Village formed in 2006 with three schools – Springfield Primary School, Beaumont Hill Special School and Haughton Secondary School - coming together to form a hard federation under a PFI contract housed in a state of the art £27 million campus. In April 2012 The Education Village Academy Trust was formed and two further schools subsequently joined the Trust – Gurney Pease Academy (a mainstream primary school) and Marchbank Free School (a SEMH Special Free School), both on their own individual sites.
The Trust is committed to providing an outstanding education in the broadest sense. Our key priorities are to:
Provide a nurturing and friendly atmosphere by providing an environment where students are respected and valued and where individual needs are recognised and supported.
Bring out the best in every child irrespective of any learning difficulties they may have and regardless of their gender, race, colour or religious beliefs.
Provide for each child as many different experiences, ideas and activities as possible in a safe and secure environment.
Help your child care about family, friends, neighbours and their surroundings.
Support our pupils in leading an independent and purposeful life, preparing children for work or further education and promoting citizenship to encourage them to consider the needs of their local and wider community.
Offer a broad and balanced curriculum modified to meet individual needs where appropriate.
Create an atmosphere which encourages teamwork and values the contribution of all partners in the context of a shared acceptance and understanding of the Trust’s direction. Motivate staff by strong leadership which offers direction and democratic management.
What can you expect from us? Staff are the Trust’s most valuable resource and we value and invest in our people. We encourage reflective practice, classroom-based research and collaborative peer coaching because we want staff to deliver outstanding provision and to maintain a passion for learning. Wherever possible we seek to accredit the professional development work of staff. Learning from others is at the centre of our staff development provision. We are highly fortunate that our broad educational provision allows us to draw on a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise to deliver a broad and varied internal CPD programme.
