Normanton Junior Academy is a larger than average sized junior school (344) based in the town of Normanton, West Yorkshire, just off Junction 31 of the M62 Motorway so is in a prime location to welcome staff from both Wakefield and Leeds. The vast majority of pupils join from Normanton All Saints C of E Infant School.

We pride ourselves on being a school that offers our pupils a well-rounded and truly enjoyable education, and place great emphasis on giving our children a wide range of opportunities in the arts, music, outdoor learning and sport. We were judged as continuing to be a ‘Good’ school, by Ofsted, in July 2023 and we are looking for inspiring and dynamic staff to join our fantastic team. 

We offer excellent facilities: a large building, complete with purpose-built gym, stage and hall; an IT suite; several spacious shared working areas; a library; well-equipped classrooms; and well-maintained outdoor play areas, including a large field to enable our children to explore, develop and nurture their talents and interests as they progress through our school.

We are a proud member of Waterton Academy Trust, joining in 2015. As a growing organisation - consisting of infant, junior and primary schools - Waterton Academy Trust’s main aim is to ensure all children receive the education that they deserve, and Normanton Junior Academy is very proud to be part of this. 

This is an exciting time for  the school, as we look towards the future, and endeavour to build on the firm foundations already in place. If you like the sound of this and want to be part of an exciting new journey, then we would love to hear from you!
