About Bolder Academy
A message from our Head Teacher
Thank you for considering Bolder Academy as the next step in your career. I hope this brief letter explains what we are about and why it is an exciting place to choose to work.
Bolder Academy is a mixed, non-denominational school which opened in September 2018. Set up by primary and secondary Headteachers of the London Borough of Hounslow to meet the demand for extra school places, we are already part of the community.
We know every Bolder student and their family exceptionally well; strong relationships and great communication is the Bolder way.
Extraordinary partnerships have been formed with key local businesses such as Sky resulting in a ‘bold’ education: a traditional, highly academic curriculum combined with brilliant extra-curricular opportunities.
Bolder Academy is an exceptional place to teach. We know that by joining the team, at this stage, a Bolder future truly awaits you.
Creativity, innovation and imagination are at the heart of everything we do. We know that this can only be achieved if we look after our staff.
We will support you to be courageous and try new things, question traditional ways of ‘doing school’, and encourage you to grab opportunities and take risks. We’ll support you every step of the way.
Join us at Bolder Academy, and together we’ll begin our journey toward a better, brighter, and bolder future.
I look forward to meeting with you,
Andy De Angelis
