What the school offers its staff
The JCB Academy specialises in engineering and business, teaching learners from Y9 to Sixth Form and providing Intermediate (L2) and Advanced (L3) apprenticeship programmes as well as an Engineering T Level. Our approach pairs classroom learning with practical application, and we have an impressive range of world-class industry partners who help with that. JCB, of course, but also including Bosch Rexroth, Harper Adams University, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Motor Manufacturing. Names that can turn heads with learners and lock in their learning engagement.
Situated close to Uttoxeter, you’ll have a picturesque market town on your doorstep and easy access to many independent shops, cafes and bars. Once you’ve explored that, there are plenty of characterful villages and cultural attractions to immerse yourself in as well as great travel links to major cities and ThePeaks. Please contact our HR Team if you would like more information about how our Relocation Assistance Scheme could support you to move to this beautiful part of the country which has an abundance of great-value-for-money housing.
Commitment to safeguarding
The JCB Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
