Join our highly successful Trust

South Lincolnshire Academies Trust has over 550 teaching and support staff working in the four schools (Bourne Academy, Spalding Academy, Giles Academy and Cowley Academy) that make up our highly successful Trust.

There has never been a better time to become part of our team with the rapid growth of the schools, where student numbers are increasing due to local demand and there is an expansion in our curriculum and facilities.

We pride ourselves on creating an environment that benefits from high staff retention as we offer realistic routes for progression for both teaching and support staff. We nurture and reward our staff and will help you develop and succeed.

Our Trust ethos is Aspire, Challenge, Achieve and this is embedded in everything we do for our students and staff. This common goal reflects why our schools are so popular as our students and staff work towards the same objectives.

Not only are we successful, but the working environment is a rewarding and enjoyable place to be.
