Based in Winsford, Cheshire, the Winsford Academy is an 11 to 16 co-educational comprehensive school, which has recently been oversubscribed.
The staff at Winsford Academy are at the forefront of transforming young lives. The socio-economic context of the school places it in the 5th quintile for deprivation on entry and levels of SEN are also significantly higher than average.
We hope that you will consider joining us on our inspirational journey to impart a sense of belonging, aspiration and a lifelong love of learning to our whole student community.
With such meaningful work, we know how important it is that our staff are well supported and have the professional development, technology and systems they need to thrive from day one in school, as well as a warm welcome and 'family friendly' ethos.
The Winsford Academy is proud to be part of The Halliard Trust (formerly The Fallibroome Trust), a family of academy schools committed to providing an exceptional all-round education that equips young people with the character, knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of a changing world.
The Halliard Trust currently numbers ten schools; seven primaries and three high schools. We work closely together, sharing expertise and good practice on curriculum, assessment and behaviour. We want pupils to be happy, safe and inspired to learn.
Being part of Trust means structured career pathways and opportunities for colleagues, supported by high-quality professional development. We are also supported with staffing, finance, IT, and building maintenance, giving us more time to focus on our priorities of teaching and learning.
We live by the Trust values of Respect, Integrity and Optimism.
