Wingfield Academy

a copy of our latest newsletter can be found here.

The successful candidate will join our progressive and rapidly improving Academy. In April 2017 Ofsted described Wingfield as a ‘Good’ in all categories. In 2016 the Academy was ranked in the top 6% of Secondary Schools in the UK and fourth when compared to similar Schools. We are particularly proud that one of our key strengths is the quality of our care, guidance and support for our learners, which reflects well on our inclusive ethos. We are striving hard to generate a culture of high aspiration, despite some key challenges. We were also pleased that it was recognised that the leadership and management of the Academy are ‘Good’ and that the behaviour and safety of our students are likewise positive and effective.
