The Trust are inviting applications for the above post of Performing Arts (Music or Drama specialism). This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive and ambitious team of teachers, who are committed to improving attainment levels across the faculty through their passion for teaching and learning.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust, was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy.
