At The Halifax Academy we have the courage to do things differently. Our ground-breaking approach to education takes children through five phases from reception to year 11, creating a fully integrated school journey from ages 4- 16.
This is your chance to join a friendly, community- focused through school and founding Academy of the Impact Education Trust, helping us to shape the future of education. The position of Pastoral Lead Practitioner offers the right candidate, an opportunity to take the lead in managing and delivering pastoral support to all students.
As a Pastoral team we epitomise the Academy's 'Heart. Mind. Connect.' values and seek to help our students make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of the world. We are a high performing team with strong values, work ethic and mutual sense of purpose. We care about the little things, enjoy supporting our students and share unrelentingly high standards. We are incredibly proud that our school has been awarded the Investors in People Platinum Award – the only through school in the country to attain this level.
We are looking for someone who can bring something special to our school. Someone who is enthusiastic and a reflective practitioner with a passion for teaching and learning.
The Halifax Academy is a different kind of school and we are looking for people who are committed to exploring new approaches, and reshaping education. As Headteacher of our through school, I genuinely believe (and constantly remind the students) that I have the best job in the world. If you would like to be able to say that too, then this could be the role for you.
The Halifax Academy is part of Impact Education Multi Academy Trust ("the Trust") who are on a mission to improve social mobility for the disadvantaged and to improve the life chances of children and young people. The Trust is a values driven organisation with the belief that collaborative leadership and strong partnership development can lead to significant positive impact on the quality of education.

About The Halifax Academy
About The Halifax Academy
Our purpose is to provide young people with a voice to help them change the world.
We strengthen our students’ sense of identity, independence, self-esteem and self-worth, providing them with the qualities to make a meaningful difference in the future.
We aim to inspire a love of learning and the motivation to achieve academic excellence. But, equally as important, we encourage our students to develop their creativity and imagination, to build positive relationships with others and an understanding of the world around them.
We deliver a curriculum that facilitates the development of strong academic skills and moral character through a variety of subjects and memorable experiences. It is built on three tenets: Heart, Mind, Connect. These relate to different aspects of character or behaviour we seek to nurture in pursuit of personal and academic success. For each aspect we have adopted a quotation by an individual admired for their considerable contribution or achievement in that particular area; these carefully chosen words provide meaning and help our students to understand our ethos.
At The Halifax Academy we are committed to an ongoing process of learning, self-reflection, adaptation and growth. We regularly evaluate our practice and make adjustments to ensure we are providing our students with the best possible education. Our culture and curriculum put student wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. We work hard to equip our students with the tools to become resilient young people who can take care of their own wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of others.
Our approach to staff wellbeing:
We all want to work smarter so that we can better balance quality time with our families and friends with the demands of work. At The Halifax Academy, we aspire to be the best professionals we can be – that is, after all, what our children and families deserve. Our staff are committed, expert and talented, and giving of your best day in day out, requires stamina. We need staff who can thrive at work and also at home, and for the long term. As an employer and an organisation, we are committed to being as flexible and supportive as we can be, helping colleagues and their families to navigate the ups and downs of life.
The Halifax Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. DBS checks are required for all relevant posts.
