South Croydon, United Kingdom The Collegiate Trust Full time

**Academy The Quest Academy, South Croydon**

**Required 1st September 2023**

**Salary TCT L21 - L25 (£76,003- £83,464)
**Closing date Wednesday 10th May 2023**

**Interviews Week commencing Tuesday 9th May 2023**

**Welcome
Dear Applicant

A very warm welcome to the Quest Academy. We are a great place to begin or further your career.

At the Quest we know that having great people is our biggest asset and we work very hard to make sure that the
posts we offer, the professional development we provide and the environment we create are the cornerstones of a
highly successful Academy on a journey from ‘good’ to ‘outstanding.’

Our motto, ‘learning changes lives’ succinctly describes our mission: to improve the life chances of all of our young
people by enabling them to achieve outstanding qualifications and develop the personal characteristics necessary to
lead fulfilling adult lives.

We believe in the broadest and richest educational experience and have a highly developed and universal
enrichment offer, numerous trips and visits, a wide range of clubs and societies, sports fixtures and a thriving Duke
of Edinburgh award scheme.

I know that the atmosphere and climate in the Academy are key considerations for staff.

At the Quest we have created a disciplined environment with well-behaved children. Levels of attendance are above
the national average because our students enjoy coming to school and we have very well crafted systems of support
in place to make sure that the Academy runs efficiently. We are oversubscribed and results are above the national
average in all key stages.

We believe we are outstanding in the support we provide for staff development. We have achieved the ‘CLPD Gold
Mark’ for our professional development work and we run in-house training sessions every week to update and further
our colleagues’ skills.

We are also very fortunate to occupy a stunning 17 million pound building with extensive grounds which we moved
into in 2014. Every part of the school is brand new and across the campus we have invested in nearly one million
pounds of cutting edge IT equipment to support all aspects of Academy life.

Geographically we are ideally located just 15 minutes from the M25, forty minutes from central London by train and
Croydon itself is undergoing major investment as a place to work and live. Rents are relatively low for London and the
town centre, with venues such as Boxpark and the Southend restaurant quarter, mean there is always something to
do.

I do hope that our vacancy will be of interest to you. We welcome visits at any time to see us at work so that we can
show you all of this in person._ _

With best wishes.

**Mr A. Crofts**:

- Executive Principal _
