Excelsior Academy is recruiting for a range of roles and we would like to appoint a Teacher of Maths for a September start or earlier by negotiation.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an inspirational teacher to join our Mathematics Team. The successful candidate will work within a supportive department, positively contributing to raising standards of attainment and achievement for all pupils at Excelsior. You will provide consistently high-quality teaching and enable the effective use of resources to facilitate high standards of learning and achievement for all pupils. If you have a particular interest in supporting pupils with SEND, we want to hear from you.
Working at Excelsior will challenge you but the rewards are huge. Successful candidates will play an important role in our continuous drive for further improvement and will have the potential to work in Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
Excelsior Academy was opened in 2008 and became the first All Through school in Newcastle, offering education to pupils from 3 to 19 years of age. Excelsior serves one of the most challenging communities both in the region and nationally. All pupils in our primary, secondary and sixth form provision have access to the same high-quality teaching, exceptional facilities and fabulous resources. Our purpose-built building provides excellent facilities for the 1500+ pupils who study here. Approximately 200 pupils attend our primary school, 1100 in the secondary phase and 180 in the sixth form. We are a popular choice for our local community and are now oversubscribed in most year groups.
Excelsior is part of the Laidlaw Schools Trust (LST) established by our patron, Lord Laidlaw of Rothiemay, in 2008. LST prides itself on being a progressive, inclusive trust that supports every child to develop their talents whatever they may be. LST academies enjoy strong support from an experienced central team and every school shares the LST core values; ambitious, brave, curious, determined, extraordinary, fast and good. The Trust hosts one of the national Behaviour Hubs and has strong central resources linked to safeguarding and a Trust School Improvement Team.
Since September 2023, there has been a renewed focus across the Academy on school climate and character development. We have a strong focus on inclusion, with a range of pathways in the academy to support our pupils.
