The departments have a strong track record of success, with a Value-Added score of +0.71 for Humanities in 2024, placing Madeley among the top-performing schools nationally.

We offer extensive CPD opportunities to support continuous professional development, including lesson visits, peer collaboration, and sharing of best practices. This position is also suitable for an Early Career Teacher seeking a supportive, collaborative environment, with potential opportunities for future leadership roles.

We are proud of our long history serving the local community and relish the challenge of preparing our students for their futures as leaders in the 21st. century. As a relatively small secondary school, we are uniquely placed to care for each child as an individual. We take pride in providing a friendly, nurturing and welcoming environment for learning for all students, regardless of background or prior achievement and where our students are given the skills, experiences and qualifications necessary for them to take charge of their own destinies.

What the school offers its staff

In our secondary schools, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to curriculum design, to ensure all our schools have breadth and ambition for all students, regardless of their starting points and barriers. Standard curriculum models don’t always engage all students, so we constantly seek to innovate and provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. We want our students to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful, and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them. Some examples of our innovation include moving towards an extended school day, to provide a world class enrichment programme and more opportunities for essential skills like reading and cultural capital. We are also introducing vocational and technical pathways, which run through the normal school curriculum but attract support from leading employers and universities to develops work-readiness in our students, so that they can progress onto T Levels and apprenticeships.

We are currently at an exciting point in their evolution, with collaboration at the heart of our collective endeavour. We don’t operate in silos: we value the power of the pack and strive to collaborate as a collective, ensuring no school or colleague is left behind. We are currently co-constructing an aligned curriculum across all EBacc curriculum subjects, to create a world class curriculum, rich in powerful knowledge and skills. This is driving up standards through the sharing of the very best practice, whilst allowing each school sufficient flexibility for autonomy to do what is right for their local context. A by-product of this approach has been the reduction in planning workload for colleagues, meaning they can spend more time on the things that matter and fostering strong relationships with pupils and delivery of the curriculum.
