Doncaster, United Kingdom Outwood Grange Academies Trust Full time

Chief Executive Officer: Lee Wilson

Lead Principal: Andy Scruby

Associate Principal: Vicky Gray

We are an 11-18 academy based just north of the large, friendly, South Yorkshire town of Doncaster. 

We have been a member of the Outwood Family since 2009, and in our 2023 Ofsted inspection the academy was graded Good in all categories. The inspection noted ‘the school has a supportive and caring culture. Staff build arm and friendly relationships with pupils. Pupils achieve their full potential. Staff are proud to work at the school’.

We offer a holistic education that makes learning stimulating, engaging and enjoyable for every student.

The inspectors were equally complimentary about our sixth form provision, with a wide range of courses on offer; including A Levels, vocational qualifications and T-levels.

We have also won numerous awards as a school and we have been accredited with the prestigious IQM Award, in addition to being an IQM Centre of Excellence for 3 years, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded Silver Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.

All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.

If you share our vision, join our family.

The humanities team at Adwick is a large team of over 10 subject specialists, delivering History, Geography, RE/Life, Psychology and Criminology. Our team thrives on its ability to build knowledge, develop skills and instil a passion and desire to learn more and more about the world around them. Having such a large team, from different career stages from ECT to Assistant Principal, gives us the opportunity to put forward creative ideas, discuss them, reflect on them and develop them even further, giving our students the best opportunities in lessons and providing outstanding teaching and learning in all classrooms.

CPD is incredibly important in our team, both focussed on our subject areas through OGAT subject director training and also through whole school teaching and learning. All our classrooms are located along 2 corridors creating a very close-knit department who are very supportive of each other through the sharing of resources and also creating a welcoming environment for our students as they go down the corridors towards our amazing lessons. 

At Key stage 3, both History and Geography are taught for 1 hour in Y7 and 2 hours in both y8 and y9, and life is taught Y7-10 for 1 hour a week. Both history and geography are popular options at GCSE, we deliver Edexcel for history including Medicine through time, Elizabethan England, American West and Weimar and Nazi Germany, and for geography AQA with Natural Hazards, Living world, Rivers and Coasts, changing urban environments, economic world and resource management with a focus on water. As part of the Outwood Doncaster Post 16, we offer geography (AQA), history (AQA), government and politics (AQA), psychology (AQA), criminology (WJEC) and EPQ (AQA).

We have worked hard to develop our curriculum at key stage 3 to create an engaging and knowledge rich programme of study. In history this is done in a chronological way with y7 topics such as Migration through Time to Britain, the Norman Conquest of England and the Tudors, y8 topics include the Stuarts and the English Civil War, Imperialism and the British Empire and the First World War, y9 topics include Race Relations within the USA and UK, a Post-War Britain and then a Post-War world with a focus on Vietnam and Chernobyl. This allows our students to develop a solid and coherent understanding of British History and its place in the larger Global History. 

In Geography we go beyond the national curriculum and deliver our curriculum through 5 geography concepts of physical processes, human development, interactions, climate change and sustainability and thread these through different place and theme units such as development, ecosystems, wild weather, oceans, Africa, Asia, Middle East and Russia to answer questions such as ‘Is tourism a blessing or a curse’. We are currently working hard to ensure students are confident in the fieldwork enquiry process and GIS.
