New Rickstones Academy is graded 'Good' (November 2023) and has a state of the art building offering fantastic facilities for both students and staff. A new building opened in September 2022 providing additional technology, science, IT and general teaching rooms. From September 2022, our PAN increased from 180 to 240 and we are now oversubscribed.
Every member of staff is a vital part of our committed and ambitious team and we have been very successful at developing teachers and leaders with progression both within, and beyond the academy.
Our "Curriculum Drivers" run through all that we do as we encourage students to be safe, happy, the best they can be, and be proud.
Mastery : delivering excellent teaching & learning and developing excellent learners. Students are ambitious and committed.
Character : developing students into well rounded young people who we can be confident in to "do the right thing when no-one is looking".
Perspective : how our students fit into the world around them, how they appropriately challenge wrongs, and promote what is right. Students are open minded, compassionate and promote the differences found in all of us.
We are looking for an outstanding teacher with great pastoral skills to become our Head of Year and ensure all students in the year group are supported by effective pastoral systems to make outstanding academic progress within the wider context of their full personal, social and emotional progression.
At New Rickstones Academy our students' well being is our highest priority. We have a newly structured pastoral team and each Head of Year has a dedicated Pastoral Co-ordinator to help them to provide high quality support for their year group. We also have a Home Liaison Manager, a School Counsellor and an attendance team.
Ideally, we're seeking a Maths, History or Science specialist, however, we welcome outstanding practitioners from any subject specialism.
