About the School
Scalby Academy is a successful and popular 11-16 community school based in the picturesque seaside town of Scarborough on the North Yorkshire Coast. We currently have approximately 1,000 students on roll. Our students are diverse, exciting and talented, and we are proud of the highly effective teaching that characterises our school. We are keen to encourage new and/or young staff to make their mark as soon as they are ready.
A consistently ‘Good’ school in every area as judged by Ofsted in 2012, 2019 and most recently in 2024. Our aim is to provide a ‘Great’ education for the young people of our coastal community.
Our Vision
At Delta Academies Trust we understand the importance of learning a modern foreign language and we believe that every pupil should have that opportunity. We have invested significant time, expertise, and money in creating an outstanding curriculum offer which has increased pupil engagement and, as a result, the number of pupils studying MFL in our 17 secondary academies has risen dramatically.
Our Curriculum
We have created carefully sequenced five-year curriculum plans for both French and Spanish using the national curriculum and recommendations from the 2016 MFL Pedagogy Review. Each unit is fully resourced, with detailed lessons prepared for you to adapt to the needs of your classes. We use an online coursebook to underpin our teaching, along with our trust knowledge organisers. Every unit includes a cultural topic to foster a love of languages and to encourage understanding of people from those countries. We subscribe to an online learning platform to support vocabulary learning. Our team includes 17 native language assistants across academies.
How will we support you? Our Senior MFL director leads a team of two MFL directors and a lead teacher, based in our academies. They provide daily support to teachers and pupils. We value high-quality CPD, with subject-specific CPD every half term to share best practice and keep abreast of research findings and national developments. Although our curriculum model is standard across the trust, you will have the opportunity to develop professionally in your own right. We pride ourselves on recognising and developing talent and sharing our love of teaching languages.
Our Future
Our director team is held in high regard and has worked with the DfE and examination boards regarding existing and new GCSEs. We are passionate about languages and have recently had four academies approved to join the DfE Latin Centre of Excellence programme. We are preparing a bid to become one of 15 MFL hubs in England to influence the future of MFL teaching at a national level.
