Welcome to Mercia School

Student4.jpg

Mercia School (11-18+) opened in September 2018 and has grown incrementally each year since then. We now have pupils in years 7-13, have published exceptional GCSE results in 2023 and 2024, and we opened our Collegiate Sixth Form in September 2023.

We are a traditional school, and aspects of our approach and practice are like other highly effective schools across the country. We have a strong reputation for educational excellence and have been the most oversubscribed school in the city for the last four years. In February 2023 Ofsted inspected the school and graded all aspects of provision and overall effectiveness to be outstanding.  Our aim is to provide all pupils, no matter what their background or starting point, with a rich, coherent, and demanding education, facilitated by a longer school day.

This ultimately equips and inspires them to progress to university or a high-quality alternative. We care about every pupil and want the absolute best for them.

Our school is a warm and welcoming place where all pupils feel happy and safe and can flourish. Staff are free to teach without distraction and deliver exceptional lessons, and leaders focus persistently on what matters.

We wish to recruit, develop, and retain the best staff, and we have a strong commitment to reducing the workload for teachers.

Reasons to Join Mercia School

1. Outstanding School - Mercia is one of a small number of schools that is graded as outstanding. You will have access to sector-leading practice. Outcomes are exceptional.     

2. Team - You will join an ambitious, talented and positive team of leaders and staff.

3. Support - Leaders and teachers have fantastic initial and on-going support to fulfil their roles. Senior leaders work hard to support teachers and ensure their time is protected.

4. Exceptional behaviour - Pupils at Mercia behave impeccably. We believe teachers should be able to teach and pupils should have an appetite to learn. Our centralised and consistent behaviour systems improve wellbeing for all.

5. Workload - We remove all unnecessary tasks that take time away from supporting pupil learning. We have reduced data and administration tasks. Teachers have lower contact ratios compared to most schools, so they have more time to prepare great lessons. Teacher time is focussed on teaching, supporting pupils and administration in the working day and no work is taken home.

6. Time - We have a longer school day which is designed to support pupils and staff. Within this time all pupils receive great lessons, access a full enrichment programme and undertake homework in assisted ‘self -study’. 

7. Professional development - All staff receive an exceptional induction, and consistent on-going support and CPD. You will work alongside exceptional colleagues.

8. Retention - Staff retention is high as staff are happy and proud of their school. They have a good work life balance and have a sense of belonging. We are all driven and motivated by our mission.

9. Family dining - Family dining is special. We all eat together as a family and collectively show gratitude to our community. Teachers are catered for free of charge.

10. Enrichment - Teachers teach and lead pupils in their areas of interest or expertise outside of the ‘normal’ curriculum. Teachers offer sport, STEM, music, drama, the arts and much more. Strong relationships are built and forged in these moments.
