About this Role
Since opening in 2003 the Academy has served the local community in south Middlesbrough, as well as providing specialist education for children with visual impairments, deaf and hearing impairments and cognition and learning difficulties from across the region. We are a fully inclusive school, believing that all students and staff are made in the image of God and are therefore infinitely precious.
