Summary
Darton Academy are looking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic Learning Manager to join our academy as soon as possible on a permanent, fulltime basis.
Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you. At Darton, we have an established team of Learning Mangers who care about the futures of the young people who attend our school. The role of the Learning Manger is a valued position, we invest time, training, and support into the pastoral team because we place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success, a positive climate for learning which in turn increases student attainment and their social and emotional development.
Your new role
As a Learning Manager, you will support student learning using data, strategic intervention and monitoring in order to maximise student attainment.
If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position, then we would very much like to hear from you.
Your new school
Darton Academy is an exciting place to learn and as soon as you enter the building you can feel the sense of academic rigour! There is a sense of purpose, and the academy is calm and orderly, with state-of-the-art facilities. We are a close-knit community, and we pride ourselves on knowing our pupils well and doing our utmost to ensure everyone fulfils their true potential.
We aim to ensure that our pupils can learn in a safe and supportive environment, where everyone values academic achievement and has a positive attitude to learning. As a result of our journey of continuous improvement, our pupils secured an amazing set of exam results in the summer of 2023, with 55% of pupils achieving a grade 5 or higher in maths and English, and 75% achieving a grade 4 or higher. We continue to go from strength to strength and our unvalidated progress 8 score is 0.38 which far exceeds expectations for pupils of similar ability nationally. Darton Academy is yet again one of the highest performing schools in Barnsley. In February 2023 Ofsted graded us Good with an outstanding personal development offer.
We strongly encourage our pupils to take part in enrichment activities so they can discover all their strengths and talents, and run over forty clubs, as well as pupil support sessions and interventions. We also regularly organise whole school events and educational visits so that our pupils have a broad experience of learning beyond the classroom.
We believe in rewarding pupils for good behaviour, attendance and achievement and run a number of celebration events throughout the year, from “Super September” to our summer “DartFest”. We place learning at the heart of everything we do and use our core values of respect, responsibility, and resilience to build a positive ethos.
Why join us?
Staff across the trust are talented and enthusiastic, and all contribute to the trust’s success story.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an outstanding team within a high-performing multi academy trust with exciting career prospects for successful applicants.
