Having achieved a 2022 Ofsted grading of ‘good’, in all areas including leadership, inspectors found that pupils are proud of Weavers and as a result behave well in lessons and around the school. The academy has pursued a rigorous and continuous programme of educational improvement which can be seen and measured throughout the academy. Work that the school has done to further improve behaviour and attendance has resulted in students becoming increasingly ambitious for their futures.
We are committed to ensuring that all students reach their full educational potential. This comprises of our 4 key curriculum areas in Academic, Ambition and our Co-curricular & Extracurricular programmes. Our curriculum development has resulted in a highly effective and sequenced curriculum that provides a secure platform ready for expert delivery.
Our ethos and values are underpinned by our vision, ‘Striving for success, Learning with PRIDE’. ‘Learning with PRIDE’ helps identify the values that students and staff should embody to be successful, lifelong learners. Perseverance, Respect, Independence, Determination and Engagement are values we develop in our students and expect in all staff. This ethos drives us forward, every day.
We are proud of the co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes that all staff play an active part in, that means over 1300 pupils per week have access to high quality and planned additional activities. The options range from skiing to singing, chess to climbing and performance options to provisional driving licence preparation. We are very proud to show you and find out what you might offer!
We have a commitment to staff development, and we have put in place a detailed programme of profession development that provides weekly CPD for staff. As a result, curriculum planning, teaching strategies and assessment techniques have advanced and drive student progress.
Following our ‘good’ judgement from Ofsted in May 2022, we are determined not to be complacent and want to achieve much more for our students and staff. We seek to appoint an ambitious committed colleague to be a key contributor to our continued development. This is only the start of a challenging and exciting journey, please get in touch if you'd like to be part of it.
We would welcome applications from staff who are experts in their field and are determined, independent and highly engaged. You will be joining a highly effective team with a collective focus to improve student achievement by providing a positive culture. You will need to be a team member, undertaking duties as required to meet the needs of the school, students and the team.
