Job description

At Fixby, we strive for every member of the school community to be happy, safe and learning.

We provide an inclusive environment where every child is challenged to maximise their potential and become confident, life-long learners.
We inspire our pupils to be inquisitive, curious and independent learners, who are able to offer challenge and have the resilience to be challenged.
We teach our pupils to become capable communicators, being effective listeners and confident speakers.

We support our pupils to be reflective and understand their own, and others, emotions and well-being, having effective coping strategies to self-regulate, recognise and seek help when needed.

We provide opportunities for our pupils to be open to new experiences and to have the courage to try new things and through this, have the ability to discover their own interests.

We nurture our pupils to be compassionate, responsible citizens, who understand their role and place in the modern world and who recognise and celebrate diversity.

All our staff are strongly committed to providing a happy, safe and supportive environment which we believe to be fundamental to the achievement of high standards of teaching and learning. We recognise the important role of parents and carers in the learning process, and you can be assured that we work closely with families in many different ways to enable children to grow and develop as independent learners, fully prepared and equipped for meeting the challenges life brings.

We have high expectations and our ethos both encourages and promotes an environment where children can be themselves, enjoy their learning and achieve their very best. Nurturing a life-long love of learning in all our pupils is our key priority for the school. With your support, we encourage pupils to be hard-working, kind, thoughtful and confident individuals capable of learning and celebrating their successes within our whole school family.

Our Vision

To provide every child and young person in the Multi-Academy Trust opportunities and experiences, which give all of them the confidence and aspiration to reach and go beyond their potential.

To support and nurture each school’s individual identity, to ensure that their unique DNA is used as a platform to build on the enjoyment and academic success of the children in our care.

Our Values

We instil the very highest expectations of everyone in the Multi-Academy Trust.

We ensure our school is a safe, supportive, and challenging environment.

We will ensure that every school is supportive and challenges all staff to continually improve their craft, through high-quality professional development and opportunities for progression.
