About Us

Brockington College is a highly successful 11-16 school with 1,200 students currently on roll. Students attending the school mainly live in the catchment villages of Enderby, Narborough, Huncote, Thurlaston and Croft, and the school is a popular choice for students from a wide out of catchment area, from Leicester city to the north and Stoney Stanton to the south. 

We require an Instructor to manage the day to day running of the LIFE centre, including managing staff and student timetables, under the guidance of the Assistant Principal for Inclusion.  The role is 26 hours per week over 4 days, to be negotiated.  The post holder will work with the LIFE centre team, teaching staff, parents/carers and representatives of external agencies to provide high quality intervention and support for some of our most high need students.

The LIFE centre at Brockington College is where we Learn with Inclusivity, Forgiveness and Enjoyment, and is a key feature of Brockington’s commitment to embracing all students. We are very proud to provide our most high need students a chance to ‘Live life to the full’ and support them in becoming valued members of the school, local and national community. The LIFE centre opened in August 2024 and our vision is to create a leading, flexible and needs led, in-school alternative provision that is a proactive and collaborative feature of Brockington’s daily school life and branch of support that we offer to some of our most complex students. We provide high quality intervention, support and learning for students that struggle to access mainstream education on a consistent basis due to a variety of different needs. We give outstanding educational and therapeutic support/provision to enable students to aspire to and achieve the very best outcomes. We have a core team of highly trained and effective staff that are based within the LIFE centre that build extremely strong relationships with students and parents where students feel safe and supported in their learning. As the LIFE centre is a key provision in the school, we have teachers from around the school that come to the centre to deliver lessons to students, supported by the core team. We see the LIFE centre as the key to success for the students within it and look forward to welcoming passionate, adaptable and skilled professionals into the team to further expand the support and provision we offer.

The appointment provides a fantastic opportunity for a suitably qualified candidate in a school that values its members of staff. Our members of staff are incredibly hard working and caring and we expect all employees to adopt these standards and support the values and ethos of the college, of which we are very proud.

Brockington College is a Church of England Academy, attended by students from a variety of faith backgrounds and our strong Christian ethos is the firm foundation for all that we do. The ethos runs so strongly through college life that it was graded as 'excellent' in our recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools in June 2023. Our facilities are 'state-of-the-art' and make a strong contribution to teaching standards and to student and staff well-being. Members of staff enjoy a range of CPD and INSET opportunities, a robust support system for ECTs, free car parking, weekly sports opportunities and voluntary prayer meetings, alongside other wellbeing opportunities. The school runs a wide variety of enrichment opportunities for students, as well as a range of residential trips, which members of staff support both near and far, from the Forest of Dean and Norfolk to Iceland, Kenya and China.
