We are delighted that you are considering joining our team at Richard Barnes Academy. Our two-campus alternative provision helps young people change their lives through positive relationships and a focus on our pillars: Safe, Character, and Ambition. We support those who struggle with conventional education or need time in an alternative setting due to life events.

We are an inclusive school, dedicated to supporting and raising the aspirations of every young person. Our learners work towards meaningful qualifications to transition back to mainstream school or onto Post-16 courses. We believe in the potential of all young people to become successful adults, supported by strong relationships with our staff.

One of our greatest assets at Richard Barnes Academy is our staff, who go above and beyond to promote a love of learning which enhances pupils’ achievement and supports their personal, social and emotional development.  We offer our staff a supportive and inclusive work environment where you can make a significant impact on students' lives, helping them achieve their full potential.

We are privileged to be part of the Thomas Deacon Education Trust, which shares our commitment to enhancing educational outcomes for all students across its diverse range of primary and secondary academies. As a staff member here, you will benefit from exceptional professional development and support, both within our school and through a variety of exciting development and training opportunities offered by our locally based trust. By collaborating with a network of like-minded schools, we ensure that our staff have access to the best possible opportunities for growth and development, no matter where they are in their career journey.

I am pleased that you are interested in finding out more about our Academy.  We would warmly welcome visits from prospective candidates interested in being part of our team.
