Pickwick Academy Trust’s vision, strategy and mission is underpinned by our moral purpose to provide the best education and curriculum for the children we serve, and is based on the values of: aspiration; collaboration; inclusion; enjoyment; and nurturing relationships, with the intention of empowering children to become life-long learners, global citizens and deep thinkers.

We provide a strong ethical framework that enables children to make thoughtful, positive choices, and are committed to providing a high quality and educationally stimulating learning environment, led by exceptional and dedicated staff.

If you're eager to contribute and collaborate with driven, compassionate, and committed individuals, we encourage you to apply. Our mission is to attract and retain top-tier professionals who are unwavering in their pursuit of our shared vision.
