West Norfolk Academies Trust is focused on maximising the education of the young people in West Norfolk. Our schools are friendly yet focused, with a clear improvement strategy for continuing to raise attainment and we are working towards becoming ‘good’ schools and then ultimately ‘outstanding’, trust wide.
The West Norfolk Academies Trust offers:
- The opportunity to work and progress across a family of schools in West Norfolk;
- The support and expertise of outstanding faculties across the Trust;
- A full and detailed support programme for those new to the profession as well as for middle and senior leaders;
- Preparation for the future promotion and responsibilities within the Trust for ambitious, creative and dynamic colleagues.
We are looking for inspirational teachers and staff to help develop the schools within the trust further as we move to the next exciting phase.

Governor Vacancies
West Norfolk Academies Trust aims to challenge and support a small group of schools to provide an excellent education for the young people of West Norfolk.
The Trust works in a supportive partnership with Primary and Secondary schools with each school maintaining their unique identity and ethos.
In order to ensure the schools continue to offer the very best education and opportunities to the students and staff, the Trust is always interested to hear from those who are interested in becoming Governors. Governors are essential for the effectiveness and success of the schools.
Governors come from a range of different backgrounds, but all share a common interest of wanting the best possible education for young people in this area.
