Come to work in a thriving community. Great Park Academy is a growing school committed to providing the very best education for pupils from Year 5 to Year 11. We are one of two new schools within Gosforth Group Multi Academy Trust. The school opened in September 2021 on a temporary site at Gosforth Academy. We will move to a brand new 1200 capacity school building in 2025 which will be situated in the Great Park area of Newcastle.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a dynamic, creative person to shape the future of our new school. You will do this by developing first class humanities curricula and leading a thriving team of exceptional humanities teachers.
