Why Us?
We are a caring yet ambitious academy at the heart of our local community. We provide all our students with opportunities to strive toward academic excellence and develop interpersonal skills in order to make a positive contribution to society. We have a calm and supportive environment characterised by respectful relationships between staff and students. Through our clear focus on delivering excellent academic standards for all students, we put high-quality teaching and learning at the core of our approach.
In joining The Lowry Academy, you will also be joining United Learning, a successful Multi Academy Trust.

Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum, and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.
As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff’s wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It’s an ethos we call, the best in everyone.
The Lowry Academy is committed to creating the best place to work, where all staff can reach their full potential. We believe in promoting and enhancing inclusion, diversity and equality and welcome and encourage applications from all areas of the community, who meet the criteria for the role, regardless of age, gender, disability, race, religion or sexual orientation.

Applications will be considered on receipt. Suitable candidates will be interviewed on receipt of application and The Lowry Academy reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.
