Why should you commit your future to the children of Ernesford Grange Community
Academy?

I asked some of our Ernesford colleagues earlier this term what is was that made them love working here quite so much and this is just a snippet of what they said:

• We are a genuine family where the staff care just as much about each other as they do about our wonderful students
• SLT actually trust staff to work and do not micro manage everything
• It feels like the responsibilities during the tough times and decisions are shared to make it a little easier on everyone
• We have a dedicated Director of Staff Well-Being who genuinely wants to make sure we are all happy and enjoying our time at school
•  SLT listen to you and actually take on board suggestions on how to keep improving
• We care about others. Really care. Not the care that you do because you have to, or because you feel obliged to.
• Engaging and challenging schemes of work in place which eases workload as they require differentiating according to group need rather than re-creating.

These are reviewed constantly so if we need to think of something new we share the workload as a team.

The staff survey from June 2020 highlighted that 99% of colleagues felt that staff morale
was good or outstanding, 98% felt the support they received from their line manager was
good or outstanding and 95% of staff felt that the management of pupil behaviour was good or outstanding. It is our aim to get 100% for each of these categories in the next survey.

So, if you are interested in joining a new family, one where you will be nurtured, challenged, developed and improved then maybe it is time to get in touch.

We are currently seeking a scientist with the potential to make future scientists of our
young people. Someone with a genuine passion for their subject who wants to inspire and
guide the students of Ernesford to a future of which they can be proud, one which will
change their life and the lives of those around them for the better.
