The vision is for all to flourish together within a Church School community. We are one community: students, parents and carers, staff and governors learning together and serving the community of Yardley Wood and beyond. At Christ Church we aim to provide an exceptional education, supported by excellent pastoral care with an insistence on securing the highest standards in everything we do.

We value each student as an individual, recognising their different talents and needs, and in working together we aspire for each one to be courageous, confident, and successful in all they do.

We are seeking to appoint a person who will be inspired by the Christian vision of Christ Church Secondary Academy and will want to be actively part of the journey as we continue to grow. We reserve the right to close the position before the closing date if there is a strong field of applicants.
