About Outwood Academy Redcar: A Leader in Inclusion
Outwood Academy Redcar is a forward-thinking 11-16 academy located in the scenic coastal town of Redcar. The Academy is known for its warm and supportive environment, with a strong focus on inclusion and providing opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom. There is a real sense of togetherness within our team of staff, who work closely to consistently manage our high standards, creating a calm environment highly conducive to learning and achievement. We are proud to be apilot school for the OGAT Inclusive Classroom initiative, placing us at the forefront of inclusive practice.
We believe inclusion is a fundamental right, not a 'bolt-on'. We have invested in creating a positive learning environment, characterised by clutter-free classrooms and calming aesthetics, to ensure every student can focus and thrive. Our strategies are evidence-based and developed in partnership with educational psychologists, ensuring your team has the expert backing and a calm environment to support every child.
Our Teaching & Learning Model
Our approach is built on a foundation of relational practice, ensuring that every student feels safe, valued, and ready to learn. As a leader here, you will help embed a clear framework that prioritises:
• Regulate, Relate, Reason: We recognise that students must feel a sense of connection before they can engage with cognitive reasoning.
• Restorative Practice: We focus on repairing relationships through high challenge accompanied by high support.
• The 5 Pillars: Our classroom practice is structured around five key pillars—Clarity of Intentions, Recap & Recall, New Information, Practice, and Feedback—providing consistency and clarity for all learners.

There are significant opportunities for your own continuing professional development through the Trust, which include:
