We are looking for great people who want to become even better. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join our team and help further the development of our newly established school in Gateshead. The opportunity to be part of a new and growing school is a genuine once in a lifetime opportunity.
You will join a “Crew” of dedicated professionals in an innovative new school setting with the purpose of improving life chances for young people in Gateshead.
Learning Coaches support all students with their learning in the classroom. Unlike most secondary schools, we have deliberately sized classes of 25 mixed ability students, and a Learning Coach in every classroom, in addition to the teacher.
As a Crew Leader too, you would provide pastoral support and challenge to your Crew of 12 or 13 students, spending 45 minutes with them every day to ensure that they produce beautiful work, grow in character and see academic success. You will get to know your Crew extremely well and will be the first point of contact in the school for their families.
XP Trust is a group of internationally renowned schools, hosting hundreds of visitors from across the world every year.

XP School Doncaster was inspected by Ofsted in July 2017 and found to be “Outstanding” in all areas.
XP School Doncaster has also recently received its first set of GCSE results in Summer 2019. The fantastic results are a credit to the students and the team at XP.
XP East opened in 2017, creating a campus of two schools in Doncaster.
The proposed location for XP Gateshead is the site of the former Thomas Hepburn Community Academy school in High Felling, which closed in 2019.
We opened in September 2021, welcoming 50 students into Year 7 from across the whole of Gateshead. Each year we will add an additional cohort of 50 students. The school will have 250 students in 2025.
