Due to an increase in pupil numbers, Appleton Academy is looking for inspiring teachers to join us as we nurture and develop the dreams and aspirations of our young people.

Appleton Academy is part of the Exceed Academies Trust, which currently consists of six primary schools, one all-through school and a multi-site alternative provision Pupil Referral Unit. We also work closely alongside, and in collaboration with, a Local Authority maintained nursery, Canterbury Nursery School.

The Trust has an excellent reputation within Bradford and beyond, and an outstanding record of accomplishment of supporting staff in developing their careers.

An exciting element of the Trust is our two Teaching Schools, as well as a SCITT, responsible for teacher training.

The academy itself is an all through learning environment for pupils aged 3 to 16 and our building provides a wonderful environment for lifelong learning in South Bradford.

The primary phase is two form entry with classes from Nursery to Year 6. We have an outstanding early years provision, providing strong foundations for our children to flourish. As a team we are determined to provide the best possible education to our pupils. We are an inclusive school, both in terms of our intake and in terms of the education and support we want to offer to pupils of all backgrounds, to help them reach their true potential.

We have planned a curriculum that is designed to inspire enthusiasm for learning, ensure achievement and to support pupil well-being and happiness. It enables us to build strong relationships, celebrate diversity, encourage respect and build a sense of community. It provides and acknowledges success for all children, in all aspects of their development and it recognises, encourages and celebrates all types of talent.

As a member of primary you will be joining a strong and supportive team of staff who are driven to ensure that our pupils achieve the highest possible standards. As a school, we all work together. The ability to collaborate and be open to development is essential and we aim to maximise potential within each member of staff.
