Working at Burnt Mill Academy Trust

Our community of schools provides an outstanding education. They are places of aspiration, where individuals matter and confidence flourishes so that achievement for all is outstanding.

Our core values are based on the co-operative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. These underpin our unshakeable belief in the intrinsic worth of every individual within our community.

Burnt Mill Co-operative Academy Trust is a Co-operative Trust of seven schools – Burnt Mill Secondary Academy, Forest Hall School, Magna Carta Primary Academy, Freshwaters Primary Academy, Roydon Primary Academy, Cooks Spinney Primary Academy and Little Parndon Primary Academy.

Five of the schools are located in the Harlow area. Forest Hall School and Magna Carta are located in Stansted Mountfitchet, a village in northwest Essex near the Hertfordshire border and two miles from Stansted Airport.

In September 2016 the Department for Education approved the opening of the Sir Frederick Gibberd College, a new secondary school with an intake of 240 Year 7 students in September 2018. Sir Frederick Gibberd College will utilise the benefits available to free school by offering 250 Sixth Form places from 2020.

All of our schools are wedded to the co-operative values of self-help, self-responsibility, equality, democracy, equity and solidarity and are happy and exciting places to work.
