COVER)

Reach Academy Feltham
We’re delighted to be the co-headteachers of Reach Academy Feltham,
an all-through school that is dedicated to achieving its vision that:
every single pupil will leave us with the skills, attributes and academic
qualifications to go on to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity
At Reach Academy Feltham we believe it is impossible to teach to high
standards unless the teacher knows the children, both personally and
academically. By keeping the school small, we believe it can create a
community where no pupil is left behind, providing every student with the
opportunity to achieve academic success.

WE NEED NEW TEACHERS AND LEADERS TO CONTINUE OUR DEVELOPMENT.

In the following pack, we hope to do the following:

• Share some background information about the evolution and direction of Reach Schools;
• Provide a description of the role with an indication of the types of skills and attributes we’re

looking for; and,

• Provide information about how to apply for the role.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact Tilly (for Primary roles) or Beck (for
Secondary roles) directly at Matilda.Browne@reachacademy.org.uk or
Beck.Owen@reachacademy.org.uk
King regards,
Beck and Tilly
