Headteacher: Mr D Burnham

Welcome from the Headteacher

Thank you for choosing to apply to Thrybergh Academy. If successful, we hope that that you can join us in making a commitment to enhancing the lives of our students through an exceptional education. In return, you will have a career with us that is valued by the students, their parents and by us

Our vision is simple: to be an outstanding school which gives its young people the best life chances through academic success, develops them into excellent members of the community and builds resilience, adaptability and aspiration to equip them with the skills to be successful.

We have one aim: to send every young person into the world able and qualified to play their full role in it.

We are part of Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), a successful, local multi academy trust. By being part of the trust, we benefit from a wide range of support from WPT from staff development to student support. WPT are a cross-phase trust, with a clear vision for its students from ages 2-18.

As Headteacher, I am passionate about providing our students with the very best education. I have a personal ambition to make Thrybergh one of the best schools in the country, not just the local area. It is our job to remove the barriers that stop our students from being able to achieve their ambitions, whatever they are.

If you are successful in your application, you will have the support of a strong Senior Leadership Team who have a clear strategic improvement plan for the school. As experienced leaders, we strive to make this school the best it can be. You will be joining a group of professionals who are not only enthusiastic and dedicated but a team who believe that learning is our most important activity; a team single-minded about learning for all - staff and students alike. Every member of staff is prepared to work tirelessly to ensure that learning is relevant, purposeful, engaging and rewarding. To support this, we offer an excellent CPD package aimed at supporting staff at every stage of their career; from training through to headship.

If you choose to apply, and I hope that you do; I urge you to come and visit us to get real experience of just how amazing our students are. The rewards for working with them are immeasurable and seeing them achieve their very best can be matched by very little.

Our school is amazing and full of fantastic people. If you believe that any student can achieve, if you have a love of learning and our vision aligns with yours, then I look forward to receiving your application.
