  Norwich Road Academy has an exciting opportunity for a Midday Supervisor to join their established team. The successful candidate will be joining a vibrant and ambitious organisation, led by experienced and supportive professionals. Substantial recent investment into training, buildings and resources has contributed to our vision of providing high-quality learning experiences.

  At our Academy we have a Nursery provision and classes from Reception to Year 6. We have extensive grounds and a range of facilities, from a large sports field and outdoor learning area, two all-weather playgrounds and a large self-contained library. At our Academy, we believe that it is important to extend learning outside the classroom as much as possible.

  Norwich Road Academy joined the Eastern Multi-Academy Trust in August 2017. The Trust's values and vision are based on the four keywords; Empower, Motivate, Aspire, and Transform. We want to make a real and lasting difference to the communities within which we work – “transforming lives, transforming communities”.

  Our aim at Norwich Road Academy is to prepare each of our pupils with the skills, attitudes and abilities for later life and we hope that their time with us will not only enable them to achieve their academic potential but also provide them with a wealth of happy memories and friendships to take with them on their journey.  They are at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated team of staff will support them on their way; ‘Building our Love of Learning Together’.

  Ofsted (2022) say; ‘Pupils have learned that their positive choices are important and can make a difference to everyone around them. Pupils behave well in lessons and at playtimes.’ and ‘Pupils enjoy working with the kind and helpful staff in school.’     

  Our children say; ‘It’s a very kind school and I would recommend it to others.’ It’s a very good school for children and the teachers are caring and fair.’

  Our parents say; ‘I admire the care and professionalism of the teachers and assistants.’ ‘I appreciate the efforts of all of the staff of Norwich Road Academy.’
