Our client school is a small secondary academy in Oldham, with less than 800 students currently on roll, with a mixed non-selective admission policy. The school was recently voted into the top 5% most improved GCSE results in Greater Manchester, which has been accredited to a innovative approach to teaching and learning in which students and staff are able to ensure progress in subjects. The majority of students on roll are of minority ethnic backgrounds with a high number of those speaking English as an Additional Language so previous experience supporting students or the ability to speak a number of languages would be advantageous. The school is situated between Royton and Shaw in Oldham, and sits along a number of regular bus routes.
