Blue Coat Academy

Thank you for your interest in Blue Coat Church of England Academy. Working at Blue Coat Church of England Academy is an exciting opportunity to help develop your career in a supportive, family orientated and values led organisation.

“Blue Coat Academy is a beacon of Christian distinctiveness serving its families and local community with humility, energy and integrity. Reviewed, revised and biblically rooted, the Christian vision is deeply embedded and shapes policies, plans, decisions and actions. It empowers the transforming of lives and life chances of all within the academy and extends outwards to the local community. This is possible because the vision and associated values are relevant to the experiences of the academy’s diverse, dignified community. Leaders, including governors, inspire with their determination that no one is limited in their aspirations. Consequently, they nurture students’ academic, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing and adults’ professional expertise and satisfaction. The cycle of self-evaluation is regular, rigorous and perceptive. The principal explains the approach to this, as with everything, as ‘front foot forward as a Church school’. This arises from an appreciation of, and expertise in, Church school education that there is scope to share more widely.” SIAMs Inspection Report 2023
