At Wigston Academies Trust, we are building something purposeful.
We are two schools serving one community: Wigston Academy for students aged 11-16 and Wigston College for students aged 16-18. Across both schools, we share one ambition: to give every young person an excellent start in life and the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
We believe education has the power to transform lives. We are unapologetically focused on outcomes because outcomes create opportunities. At the same time, we believe that inclusion, belonging and high expectations must go hand in hand. We owe it to our students to provide both.
Central to our work is Warm – Gripping – Seen; our shared commitment to creating schools where relationships and learning environments are warm, teaching is gripping, and every student is known, understood and supported to succeed.
We want Wigston Academies Trust to be an ambitious place for staff too. We believe exceptional schools are built by talented people who are trusted as professionals, encouraged to collaborate and given meaningful opportunities to develop. Colleagues across the Trust contribute to curriculum development, professional learning, Action Research and wider Trust improvement, with opportunities to develop both within and beyond their current roles.
Whether you are beginning your career, looking for your next leadership opportunity, or simply want to become exceptional at the role you already love, there is a place to grow here.
We are looking for people who believe all students can achieve highly, combine warmth with high expectations, value inclusion and belonging, and want to contribute to something bigger than themselves.
We are not interested in slogans. We are interested in exceptional teaching, strong relationships and life-changing opportunities for young people.
