Pastoral Leader

Thank you for your interest in working at Madeley School. I would like to give you a clear sense of what makes our school special and how we strive to keep our core values at the heart of all we do on our collective mission of inspiring excellence.

We are proud of our long history serving the local community and relish the challenge of preparing our students for their futures as leaders in the 21st. century.

We take pride in providing a friendly, supportive, and welcoming workplace for all staff. The workforce at Madeley is talented, focused and committed to upholding our values. Madeley School inspires the passion of its staff and allows them to use their talent and to develop as professionals. Our staff want to grow, nurture and apply their skills and knowledge in ways that enable them to consistently produce excellence and inspire excellence.

Our relentless focus on ensuring the highest academic standards has placed us amongst the top performing schools in the area based on sustained improvement.

Across the Trust we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to curriculum design. We want our pupils, regardless of their starting points and barriers, to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful, and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them.

We constantly seek to innovate and provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. This innovation comes in many forms, including extending school days to provide a world-class enrichment programme and additional opportunities for essential skills development; the introduction of vocational and technical pathways to develop work readiness in our pupils, supported by leading employers and universities; co-constructing curriculum across all EBacc subjects, to create world class programmes, rich in knowledge and skills; We are also driving PedTech across the sector, focusing on fully digitally enhanced curriculum and close to 1:1 device delivery.

We are currently at an exciting point in our evolution, with collaboration at the heart of our endeavour. We value the 'power of the pack' and strive as a collective, ensuring no school or colleague is left behind.

We take an evidence-informed approach to developing the quality of our teaching and learning and value a non-hierarchical, supportive approach to developing great teachers.

This approach has led to a significant reduction in workload, meaning colleagues can spend more time on curriculum delivery and fostering strong relationships with pupils.

As a people-focused trust, we consider the professional development of our staff as a fundamental responsibility. Where any schools face any barrier, it has the mutual support of the others to call upon for subject specific or general support. Our directors have a wealth of leadership experience and subject knowledge and support staff across the trust to design and the deliver the very best academic experience to our pupils.

We are part of Shaw Education Trust.

We are a growing multi-academy trust which places high achievement at the heart of all we do. We lead and manage academies in all phases, all sectors and in all communities.
