Watling Academy is a school community that puts students at the heart of what we do; we are committed to achieving individual successes for all students, alongside supporting their personal and social development. Our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Kindness underpin life at Watling Academy and our most recent Ofsted report highlighted that “students live and breathe these values every day”.

As we enter our fifth year since opening, we continue to grow and develop, with our first cohort of Year 11 students preparing for their GCSE this summer. This is a significant milestone for our school, which is coupled with excitement for the opening of our Sixth Form in September 2025. These developments present incredible opportunities for our staff to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our school community.

The curriculum at Watling Academy has been carefully created by our staff to meet the needs of our school and wider community. Alongside the subject content, it is designed to encompass three key themes:

• Understanding the development of Milton Keynes
• The importance of STEM within our community and wider world.
• Tackling sustainability challenges we face across the globe.

Every member of our staff team is crucial to the success of our school community, bringing our values and curriculum to life. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about helping students to exceed their aspirations and who are ready to create an environment where students are able to learn.

We pride ourselves on offering a supporting and collaborative professional environment. As the school continues to grow, there will be opportunities for career progression and we are committed to supporting you on your journey to surpass your own professional goals.

I would encourage you to explore our website at www.watlingacademy.net for further information about our school.
