We are an oversubscribed forward thinking 11-16 academy on a mission to provide high quality education for our local community and in May 2022 we were judged GOOD in all areas by Ofsted.

We have high expectations for our students and our academy is built upon our shared values:
ambitious, brave and kind.


As with all posts at Amington, we are looking for dedicated, committed and inspirational individuals to provide high quality teaching to our wonderful students.

If successful, you will become part of our community.

You will be supported in your career with opportunities to achieve nationally recognised qualifications and we invest in our staff by offering protected time, within the Academy day, for continual professional development.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced individual wishing to further their career in leadership and with a proven track record of high impact teaching.

We care about our staff and staff wellbeing is integral to our decision making.
