Message from the Principal
I am absolutely delighted to share this amazing opportunity at Leeds City Academy, as we seek to recruit another talented and aspirational professional to join our team.
I am sure that having read about the White Rose Academies Trust, Leeds City Academy, our students, and our continued journey of transformation, I am confident you will be keen to become an integral part of building something remarkable.
We have established a unique, positive, and transformative ‘In Partnership’ culture at Leeds City Academy which truly sets our school apart from others. Our ‘In Partnership’ values are affectionately referred to as the DNA of Leeds City Academy and this is something our wonderful students, staff, parents, and community are immensely proud of.
The academy has enjoyed an impressive period of transformation across the last few years and was judged as ‘good’ overall by Ofsted in April 2019, securing an ‘outstanding’ judgement for the quality of leadership and management. The quality of education and teaching is very strong, student behaviour is extremely impressive, and the support provided for students is unrivalled.
So, now it’s over to you…
• Are you eager to join a forward-thinking organisation committed to securing the highest educational, professional, and personal standards?
• Do you feel you will thrive within a culture that is driven by clear values that permeate everything we do?
• Are you keen to learn, develop and work ‘In Partnership’ with colleagues, students, parents, and the community?
• Do you feel passionately about transforming student lives and the opportunities provided to our communities? If so, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Chattoe
Principal of Leeds City Academy
