Bluecoat Wollaton Academy is an exciting and rewarding place to work. The Academy has a history of very successful exam results and prides itself on providing high quality education to the student population that we serve, no matter their background. All staff are highly valued as part of this.
Considerable time and energy is devoted to supporting our staff in becoming the best that they can be. The Academy recognises that each employee is as important as the other in contributing to the outstanding education we provide; employees are given the opportunity to attend and be part of extensive training programmes within their specialist area to develop the key skills to facilitate their career path. We believe in innovation, risk taking and welcome new ideas that people can bring to the Trust drawing from experiences in other workplaces.
Bluecoat Wollaton is a Church of England Academy and is proud of its Christian ethos, and respectful of all faiths. We work closely with the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham but welcome staff and students irrespective of their background. At the heart of Wollaton is the belief that all students are unique and valued by God. Our mission statement sums up what we stand for: ‘Believe; in yourself, in others, in God'
In addition to the ‘Outstanding' grading at the last SIAMS (Church of England) inspection, in May 2018 the school was also judged as ‘Outstanding' by Ofsted in all areas, testament to the hard work or staff and students who are passionate about the school and its ‘family' approach. It is also (January 2020) a ‘World Class School' given in recognition of both its outcomes and student leadership opportunities with less than 80 secondary schools in the country having obtained this quality mark.
