About the Academy & Cabot Learning Federation

The Cabot Learning Federation is a diverse Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) in the South West. We currently sponsor eight secondary academies, nine primary academies, an all through provision, a studio school, a discrete Post 16 provision and an alternative provision which consists of one primary and three secondary phases. CLF is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The trust is proud to serve a diverse student population and their communities. We actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion. We are proud to be part of a vibrant community and celebrate the richness of cultures, faiths and backgrounds of our students. We aim to develop a curriculum that is responsive to our pupils needs and reflects their diverse interests and backgrounds.

We are very proud of our knowledge rich curriculum. We enact the curriculum through the use of States of Being. This allows children to become deeply immersed in individual subject areas whilst they are Being Historians, Being Scientists, Being Artists etc. We have a bold approach to the teaching of English as it is woven throughout the States of Being units rather than being taught as a stand-alone area. We have well established oracy expectations that support the delivery of our curriculum, which in turn further supports our oracy – we learn to talk and we talk to learn. An overarching aim of our curriculum is that children experience joy-filled learning. Children in our school are buzzing with excitement to share about the things they have learnt!

Outcomes at Begbrook are broadly in line with National Averages at all Key Stages, despite the fact that our children have lower than average starting points. We are not complacent. We have a collective belief that all children can succeed so we use a ‘find the gap, plug the gap’ approach to ensure that all children achieve to their potential.

The Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will, in accordance with statutory guidance, be subject to a comprehensive pre-employment checking process including references from current and previous employers, health, right to work in the UK, an enhanced DBS check and a further check against the appropriate barred list. This role involves working with children on a daily basis and is therefore in regulated activity.
