Worden is a comprehensive Converter Academy that has a proven track record of sustained improvement and growth. In January 2025 the school underwent a successful, graded inspection. Neil Johnson, OI, confirmed that Academy@Worden continues to be a good school. He also highlighted 'The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. It has thought carefully about the knowledge that pupils should learn. The curriculum is ordered sensibly to ensure that pupils have the prior knowledge to learn successfully. Teachers deliver the curriculum clearly using their secure subject knowledge. Typically, teachers use activities that ensure pupils know and remember more. Teachers check what pupils have learned effectively through a range of strategies. Consequently, they have an accurate view of what pupils know and can do before moving on to new learning. '

Worden is committed to promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure and appointment will be subject to receipt of suitable references, qualifications and identity checks.
