Rodillian Academy seeks to appoint an inspiring and ambitious Head of Business and ICT to join our effective and dedicated team.

At the Rodillian Multi Academy Trust we are committed to doing things differently – creating schools that students want to attend, and where teachers want to work.

All of this is guided by our Positive Discipline policy – a traditional approach to behaviour management.

Behaviour in the Academy is exceptional, and something which we are very proud of.
Our highly successful Sixth Form provision sits within the top 25% nationally too.
Our 2019 inspection saw Ofsted note that “Leaders ensure that pupils learn in a calm and supportive environment. Teachers do not accept disruptions to learning. Pupils behave well, and know who to go to if they need help. Leaders take bullying seriously, and pupils agree. Staff create an orderly environment based on clear routines. Staff encourage pupils to share their views in class, and relationships between pupils and staff are positive and respectful”.
At Rodillian we believe that traditional values of discipline and respect are sacrosanct. We do not tolerate bullying, defiance or rudeness, and this has made for a harmonious and safe learning environment for our young people.
We are proud of the supportive environment we provide for staff, where they can concentrate their efforts on teaching, and their own continuing professional development.
Our school is also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
Rodillian is a happy Academy where students and staff show respect, consideration, and kindness.
