At Eastlea there is a team of five Achievement Leaders who are teaching members of staff. They are middle leaders who each take responsibility for the attainment outcomes and progress of a specific year group. Achievement Leaders oversee a team of tutors for their year group as well as the line management of a non-teaching Pastoral Manager who will ensure pastoral support and care along with high standards of behaviour. The successful candidate will have high expectations of students in their learning and conduct and will themselves, have high standards of professionalism as a key middle leader.

Any member of staff who joins Eastlea at this time, will benefit from the sharing of expertise and professional development opportunities that exist across the Trust.

A strength that we are proud of, is our diverse staff and student community. We are a school where multiple languages are spoken and cultures are celebrated. All of our facilities give us the opportunity to deliver a broad curriculum and offer extra-curricular opportunities to nurture interests beyond the curriculum.
