Education Impact Academy Trust is a thriving Multi Academy Trust in North Birmingham, incorporating Wilson Stuart School, Mayfield School, Queensbury School, The Hive College, Lime Tree Nursery and Blue Sky Nursery. We work collaboratively to deliver outstanding provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Our shared ethos is “Better Never Ends”. “These are exciting times at Queensbury School.

Caring staff, an ambitious curriculum and new buildings are all driving improvements for pupils. Leaders aim to help pupils ‘unleash their limitless potential’. Staff, parents, carers and pupils are united in making this vision a reality.”

To complement the professional work of teachers by taking responsibility for agreed learning activities under an agreed system of supervision. This includes planning, preparing and delivering learning sessions, assessing pupil progress and contributing to the wider provision within the school.

• Communication development

• Preparation for adulthood (PfA)

• A collaborative and inclusive culture that values every employee.
• A committed, hardworking team who strive to provide the best education for all students.
• Comprehensive induction and probation support and regular opportunities for professional development and growth.
• 10 staff training days across the academic year; one or two of these days may be aggregated which means completing training outside of normal working hours in twilight sessions.
• An Employee Assistance Programme via the BHSF App – including free totally confidential support, access to a GP 24/7 and counselling.
• Access to discounts and offers at many well‑known retailers and other organisations via the BHSF App.
• Access to a generous pension scheme known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) for support staff or Teachers Pension Scheme (TPS) for teachers.
• Generous annual leave entitlement for support staff based on length of service, starting at 29 days pro‑rata, rising to 32 at 5 years plus service and 34 following 10 years plus service. Teachers annual leave is in line with Teachers Pay & Conditions.
