What the school offers its staff

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for your interest in this role. Chapeltown Academy is a purpose-built post-16 academy based at Hydra Business Park in the heart of the community between Ecclesfield and Chapeltown.

The college provides A-level and Level 3 BTEC education with a personalised and caring ethos. We are a high performing post-16 provider with a strong reputation for academic success and we are immensely proud of our students and their academic and personal achievements. This success is validated by our recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024 where Chapeltown Academy is judged as a ‘Good’ provider with significant strengths in a number of key areas. The report can be found here: Chapeltown-Academy-OFSTED-2024.pdf

I am excited by the next phase of our journey, and our role as part of a wider Trust. Whilst we have a strong reputation for supporting academic excellence, we are much more than that and in recent years our numbers have grown steadily as we have developed our broad and balanced curriculum. The introduction of key vocational courses has enabled us to provide greater options for our prospective students and we are looking to grow this in the future, making sure we provide students with the opportunity to flourish locally, regionally, and nationally.

Following our successful bid last year to increase the numbers of students at the college, we are delighted that this year, we received our highest number of applications ever for September 2025. However, our ambition extends further than that and we want to be the provider of choice for the young people in the north of the city and will continue to innovate and engage to ensure that we offer a curriculum and educational experience that is second to none.

We continue to develop our non-academic programmes and last September launched a new co-curricular programme so that students have as positive experience as possible. This is in addition to a new pastoral structure of Progress Tutors and our new ‘Look Beyond’ Programme and Apex, to find out more please view our PROSPECTUS - Chapeltown Academy. We appreciate that grades are only one piece of the jigsaw for a well-rounded education. We will never compromise on standards and have high expectations – part of our values is represented by compassion and academic rigour – we will challenge our students to be the best version of themselves, whilst walking alongside them to help achieve their goals.

Support and care are equally important for all members of staff. We are developing a new Continuing Professional Development Programme at Chapeltown Academy that is supported further by the growing CPD offer from the Trust. Wellbeing is also rightly high on our agenda. We have clear well-being principles in place that guide our work in college and an annual action plan supported by staff and wider stakeholders. This is an exciting time to be joining Chapeltown Academy and Minerva Learning Trust. We care about working with the right people, with the right values and educational philosophy. If you feel you would fit our culture and will make a positive difference to the lives our young people, then I encourage you to apply and I look forward to reading your application.
