Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to look at our school and for considering what we could offer you in your career development, whilst you support our drive for excellence and become an integral part of Team TQEA.

I am Principal at The Queen Elizabeth Academy and am very proud to lead a school with such fantastic students and staff. Our reputation locally is good and growing fast with an oversubscribed year seven and many joining in other year groups following the school's best ever results last year.

Opportunities to develop at this school are ever present. I am a firm believer in growing talent and consequently we reap the rewards of being innovative and enthusiastic. Because we never stand still and are always looking to do our best for our students, staff development is a priority. All new staff work closely with the senior member of staff in charge of induction to help them hit the ground running as much as possible. On top of that we invest heavily in CPD internally and externally to ensure we are constantly improving our skills and abilities at all levels.

Our students are fantastic and really buy into our ‘We Can and We Will' ethos, where effort and engagement really matters. Our job is to raise student aspirations, motivate them to be the best they can be and to help them leave us with the best possible future ahead of them.

The staff here at TQEA share this vision, so we have excellent relationships throughout the school community and we provide a range of additional opportunities to help extend and further develop our students.

The Queen Elizabeth Academy benefits from outstanding, brand new state of the art facilities as a result of being part of the Government 'Priority School's Building Programme'. As a teacher, there is no better place to be.

What we are looking for – the “Golden Thread”

1. An individual who is passionate about working in our school
2. An individual who is determined to provide the best educational experience for their students
3. An individual who wants to continually learn

We are keen to welcome colleagues who share our passion for engaging students in learning and inspiring them to achieve.

• Do you want to make a real difference to the lives of our students?
• Do you have what it takes to work with a determined leadership team and staff, which promote excellence, and consistently challenge you to improve?

If so, then we welcome you to join our team at The Queen Elizabeth Academy.
