We are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child.

We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success and a positive climate for learning.

In a beautiful setting, enjoy the state of the art facilities that the academy has to offer.

We have a holistic and inclusive approach to the work that we do.

The Academy has received accolades and external recognition, with the awarding of the Inclusion Quality Mark - Centre of Excellence, alongside the Carnegie 'Gold' Mental Health Award for the work we do to support our diverse and dynamic student body.

The Academy has a Higher Needs Base, providing additional support for students with moderate learning difficulties and/ or those on the Autistic Spectrum (ASD).

As such we are keen to recruit a dedicated and ambitious professional who will add value to the academy. A passion for supporting our most vulnerable students and those with barriers to learning is essential.

This outstanding individual will provide expert advice, modelled through outstanding teaching to develop the practice of all staff and will work closely with our dedicated inclusion team to support our students.

We are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified SENDCo or someone with a willingness to achieve the National Award for SEN Coordination.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT) is recognised as one of the highest performing multi-academy trusts in the country.

We believe that all staff within our Family of Schools are key in securing student success and ensuring professional development opportunities is part of our transformation model.

If you are such a person we would be delighted to hear from you, and you would be very welcome to visit the Academy at any time.
