Working at Mascalls Academy: Mascalls Academy is a secondary school at the heart of the community and our small school model ensures that each and every student gets the personal support and challenge they need to reach their full potential. The academy is divided into four colleges – Shackleton, Earhart, Luther King and Marie Curie Sixth Form College each having their own personality and range of specialisms, allowing them to be unique.

Mascalls Academy is a high achieving institution. Our most recent Ofsted inspection notes "ambitious leadership has established an ethos where staff are committed to driving standards up", that Mascalls is a "happy place to be" and that "staff feel valued". Our judgement that we are a 'Good' school with 'Outstanding' leadership and behaviour is accurate. It is our vision to become 'Outstanding' in every category.

Mascalls Academy is a dynamic and exciting place to work and the fantastic leadership team are committed to making it great for people at all stages in their careers.
