Wincobank Nursery and Infant Academy

The secondary academies within Brigantia Learning Trust are over subscribed and demand for places is high. As a growing local Academy Trust we regularly advertise for both teaching and support staff and are proud of the opportunities and career progression we are able to offer our staff.

High expectations and aspirations underpin the Wincobank experience. A 2FE academy based in the heart of our community, we reap the rewards of a smaller setting; where every pupil is known as an individual but benefit from the opportunities of a larger academy. We work in partnership with our linked junior school Concord to provide every pupil with a wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom, to raise ambitions, develop passions and create memorable experiences.

Our offer begins in our award-winning Ducklings pre-school provision. Highly regarded as a centre of excellence, pupils’ learning journey begin and develops into our immersive curriculum from Reception to Year 2, empowering pupils to be inquisitive, creative and passionate about learning and the world around them. A Wincobank education is tailored to every child, where individual talents and abilities and nurtured and cultivated.

As an Ofsted Good school, we take pride in all that we do. In order to enhance the experience for every pupil, we work in strong partnership with our parents and carers and the local community, and our whole academy Thrive approach ensures pupils’ emotional wellbeing, happiness and social development are at the top of the agenda.

Our staff are our greatest asset. Specialists in their field; warm and welcoming, they enrich our excellent facilities to ensure an outstanding learning experience for every child. We are proud members of the Brigantia Learning Trust and are dedicated to achieving our shared mission: Creating Excellence Together. As the first 2-19 academy trust in Sheffield, our pupils benefit from a seamless transition between phases, always ready for the next stage of their educational journey.

Every child’s success at Wincobank is celebrated; and our community, supported by our committed Trustee’s and team of dedicated staff contribute to this. I feel immensely proud to be the Executive Principal here. We encourage you to come and visit; you will receive a truly warm welcome
