People are at the heart of what we are and what we do at Excalibur Academies Trust. We aspire to be an organisation that operates at its fullest potential by allowing people to do their best work. We want to continue to attract outstanding, inspirational, and talented people, support them to succeed, and celebrate their success.
Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in which every member of our community can thrive and reach their full potential goes hand in hand with our mission to help every child achieve more, regardless of the challenges they may face.
Working in education is rewarding but can be challenging, and if you join Excalibur we will be your biggest champions. You will be valued and supported whether you are looking to train to teach, an early career teacher at the beginning of your career, more experienced and ready for a new challenge or you aspire to make a difference by working with children or supporting the work of our schools. We recognise that every member of staff contributes to the success of Excalibur Academies Trust and we will support you on your journey.
“Career progression with Excalibur has been rapid, varied and challenging. Joining as a newly qualified history teacher I’ve progressed through House Systems Manager and Deputy Head of Faculty to be the lead on Trust wide delivery of the Early Career Framework”
Dan Warner Meanwell ECF Visiting Fellow
