Working at Stratford School Academy
We are a mixed, all ability, and non-faith school. Our purpose is to educate all the children in our diverse local community.
For us, stressing what we have in common is as important as celebrating our diversity. By learning together, we come to understand and appreciate the different cultures and faiths that contribute to our rich and varied society.
When applying for a job at any school it is important to make sure that you are aligned with the culture. At Stratford School Academy we believe:
- We all have a professional obligation to improve as teachers.
- In a culture of the possible, where we can all make progress beyond what anyone, including ourselves, could have imagined.
- Truly great teaching is that which improves students’ progress.
- An evidence-informed approach to teaching and learning helps us identify what works best in the classroom.
- You cannot just wish teachers and students to be better – you have to create the conditions for them to grow.
- Basic literacy and numeracy are essential to students making good progress.
- Feedback should be timely and respond to the needs of the individual student so that they can actively engage with the feedback.
- We live by the values of Respect, Excellence and Responsibility

Commitment to Professional Development
This article outlines the journey that the school has been on to improve engagement with, and the quality of teaching and learning. Teachers at Stratford School Academy are exposed to a variety of continual professional development opportunities. All teachers attend regular twilight sessions, in which they are provided with high quality training on new strategies and thinking within the education community, relating to the schools’ teaching and learning priorities. In addition to this, teachers are invited to teaching and learning briefings, in which best practice from around the school is shared and teachers are provided with 10 minute ‘quick strategies’ to try during subsequent weeks. Furthermore, all teachers have opportunities to visit each other’s lessons through engagement with our termly instructional coaching cycles.
