Walsall Academy in Bloxwich, Walsall opened in September 2003. The total student enrolment is approximately 1,400, with 350 students in the Sixth Form. The School was one of a number of City Academies established in England prior to the expansion of the Academies Programme in 2010 and was originally sponsored by The Mercers’ Company of the City of London and Thomas Telford School.
We are a founder school of the Thomas Telford Multi Academy Trust.
We are keen to hear from newly qualified/early career or experienced teachers who want to work with our students to give them the very best start in life.

Walsall Academy is committed to safeguarding our students and all posts will require enhanced DBS check and standard pre-employment checks. Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE), refers to the role of online searches as part of due diligence within the recruitment process. In response, all short-listed candidates will undergo an online search prior to interview. KCSiE also refers to the safeguarding responsibilities of the post as per the and personal specification, and whether the post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. The amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975, (amended 2013 and 2020)) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. The MOJ’s guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Exceptions Order 1975, provides information about which convictions must be declared during job applications and related exceptions and further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.
