The Bridge Academy is a truly exceptional school. Our students’ progress is consistently excellent and our superb personal development offer means that over the last few years we have been national debating champions, enjoyed a host of sporting successes and won both the Incorporated Society of Musicians Gold Award and the Hackney Mayor’s award for music.

Do you:

Believe 100% in a warm/strict approach?

Believe that students from any background can succeed in a school where standards are high enough?

Never stop trying to improve and view feedback as a gift?

We are seeking to appoint a Communications Manager (0.6 FTE), who is totally aligned to our values of Hard Work, Integrity and Kindness and who strives for Excellence in everything they do. Our mission is to ensure that all students can go on to succeed at a good University, thrive in their chosen field and live a great life. Can you help us to fulfil this?

If so, we could be the Academy for you.

We are very proud of what we continue to achieve at The Bridge Academy. Students and staff demonstrate many qualities on a daily basis that make it a special community to be part of. We have an effective Board of Trustees and supportive sponsors in UBS. We want these qualities and our strong values to be seen by the community around us and for our communications to reflect this. This role is about taking the great things we have and showing them off to the world outside, so that our external reputation accurately reflects and promotes the internal reality. We want our message to be stronger and to reach more people.

The post-holder will:

• Ensure the messages and values of the Academy are presented effectively to external stakeholders.
• Ensure parents are kept up to date with activities of the Academy and deepen their connection with the Academy as a result.
• Promote the Academy to the wider public, particularly families of primary age children in order to improve recruitment.
• Use all means available to achieve this including the school website, social media, printed documentation and other media, ensuring these are kept up to date and relevant.
