Gilbert Ward Academy, part of Prosper Learning Trust, opened in September 2023 and has now grown to full capacity with 80 pupils across all year groups. This is a very exciting phase in our journey: having successfully built and grown the school, we are now embedding our practice and continuing to make excellent progress.
At Gilbert Ward Academy, we deliver our curriculum through three needs-led pathways: Engage, Explore and Discover. All pupils access the same curriculum, but delivery is adapted to meet individual needs. Pupils are allocated to a pathway based on their personal profile, and movement between pathways is fluid to ensure provision remains responsive and supportive.
• Engage Pathway – for pupils with significant anxieties or the most complex SEMH needs, focusing on communication, emotional literacy, and interest-led learning
• Explore Pathway – for pupils who need consistency, strong relationships, and reduced transitions, with inquiry-based and cross-curricular approaches
• Discover Pathway – for pupils who benefit from clear structure and subject-specific teaching, led by subject specialists across the curriculum
As a purpose-built, state-of-the-art special free school that opened its doors in September 2023, we are dedicated to providing exceptional education for pupils aged 11-16 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
Located on Princess Louise Road in Blyth, Northumberland, our academy serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity for our pupils and their families. Since our official opening in September 2023, we have remained dedicated to delivering a personalised, high-quality education that extends beyond academic success. We focus on the holistic development of each child, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and resilience necessary to thrive in all aspects of life.
This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the academy’s growth, delivering high-quality teaching and learning that inspires and supports our pupils to reach their full potential.
