Here at De Lacy Academy, we have been on a journey that has seen the school judged as Outstanding by Ofsted. They recognised the hard work and effort that goes into making this school a successful and caring place of learning that meets the needs of its pupils and its community.

With nearly 900 pupils aged between 11 and 16 housed on a campus that has benefited from much recent investment, De Lacy is a busy and vibrant place. We serve the ex-mining area of Knottingley and draw increasingly from the surrounding areas. We are experiencing a period of unprecedented growth across all year groups as the school delivers excellent outcomes and as the communities of Knottingley and Ferrybridge continue to develop.

The Academy is incredibly proud of its most recent results with 47% of students achieving a 5+ in English and maths in 2025. Alongside this exceptional achievement De Lacy has a broad and balanced curriculum which goes above and beyond the national curriculum.

The opportunities that De Lacy offers its students outside the classroom are really exciting with a full suite of extra-curricular experiences, including recent trips to Paris on a textiles trip and a planned ski trip to Italy in 2027. De Lacy also runs regular trips to Delta’s offsite outdoor centre in the Yorkshire Dales of Dallowgill.

Our staff are talented and enthusiastic and have all contributed to the academy’s success story. We have a staff rewards budget and socialise both as subject teams and as a whole staff. We also have access to a staff benefits scheme. At De Lacy, we value the continuous professional development of all our employees and recognise that our staff and students are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged and supported to achieve their very best.

Your new school is based next door to Education House, the centre of Delta Academies Trust, making access to high quality CPD easy and convenient. In addition, De Lacy benefits from close access to the M62, the A1 and a local train station. You would be joining a highly skilled and committed staff. It is a source of pride to us that we retain such a high percentage of staff and trainee teachers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an outstanding team within a high-performing multi academy trust with exciting career prospects for successful applicants.

As a Trust, we have developed an extensive range of employee benefits that focus on your Financial, Physical and Mental Wellbeing.
