At The Lowry Academy we have high expectations and believe every single child can achieve their potential. Our staff are very professional, and we are relentlessly ensuring those high standards are maintained so teachers can teach, and students can learn. We prepare children for future success and ask students to live our values of Aspiration, Respect, Confidence, Creativity and Resilience.

To maintain this strong culture, we have non‑negotiable expectations:

• All students arrive on time for their lessons. Students must arrive on time to be admitted to the lesson.

• All students are expected to have full equipment for every lesson.

• All students must think hard and work hard in lessons. Students are not allowed to opt out of their learning.

The school has a straightforward approach to disruption to lessons. We follow a warn remove policy where any student who disrupts learning, having been previously warned and given the opportunity to correct their behaviour, including opting out of work, is removed from the lesson.

We are not just about academic success; we work hard to ensure that we role model the right behaviours and provide opportunities for our pupils to develop the skills and understanding required to both be personally successful in the future workplace but also have a positive impact on the world. Our aim is to prepare our students for adulthood and to be good citizens with high ambitions and the courage to exceed in their future. If you are passionate and share the same desire about changing the lives of students, we would like to hear from you.

Why Us?

We are a caring yet ambitious academy at the heart of our local community. Our mission is to provide every student with the opportunity to strive for academic excellence while developing the interpersonal skills needed to make a positive contribution to society. We take pride in our calm, supportive environment, built on respectful relationships between staff and students. With a clear focus on delivering excellent academic standards for all, high‑quality teaching and learning sit firmly at the centre of everything we do.

By joining The Lowry Academy, you also become part of United Learning, a successful Multi‑Academy Trust. United Learning schools work closely together, achieving more collectively than any single school could alone. Our subject specialists, Group‑wide intranet, shared curriculum, and online learning portal enable us to collaborate effectively, streamline processes, and support staff in managing workload to promote a healthy work‑life balance.

As a Group, we are committed to rewarding and developing our staff. This includes strong career pathways, competitive pay, excellent benefits, and the deep professional satisfaction that comes from helping young people succeed. We invest in staff wellbeing through generous INSET provision—at least eight days per year, with three dedicated solely to planning—and through a Trust‑wide wellbeing programme. This commitment reflects our ethos: bringing out the best in everyone.

The Lowry Academy is committed to creating the best place to work, where all staff can reach their full potential. We believe in promoting and enhancing inclusion, diversity and equality and welcome and encourage applications from all areas of the community, who meet the criteria for the role, regardless of age, gender, disability, race, religion or sexual orientation. We look forward to receiving your application.

Suitable candidates will be interviewed on receipt of application, and The Lowry Academy reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

The Lowry is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of its students. This responsibility necessitates a child protection policy and robust procedures. Each student’s welfare is of paramount importance. Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy can be read on our website.
