The academy has had a huge amount of success in driving up educational standards over the last five years and you would be joining an exceptional academy during a period of growth. We are committed to a broad and balanced curriculum and see our creatives arts subjects as an important part of our growth. We are also investing in our teaching facilities to ensure that our facilities match our ambitions for the Academy.

Brayton Academy was awarded 'Outstanding in all areas' at the OFSTED inspection in June 2019 and again in 2024. Pupils' exemplary behaviour and attitudes to learning have consistently been highlighted as a strength, as has our ongoing commitment to staff wellbeing and professional development.

We are part of The Resilience Multi Academy Trust which has a reputation for high expectations for all, an innovative curriculum and excellent staff/student relationships.

We want to look after our teachers and at Brayton you would be assigned a 'coach' who would support and facilitate your professional development and support your wellbeing. This enables self-driven, professional improvement helped by an experienced highly trained coach.

This is an excellent time to join this thriving academy. The successful candidate may be at any stage of their career and there may indeed be opportunities to take on extra leadership responsibilities if or when ready.

Interested candidates can come meet the Principal and tour the Academy on Thursday 16th April at 13.00 or 16.00. Please contact Sophie Addison on saddison@braytonacademy.org.uk to book an appointment.
