To complement their qualifications, we also develop the skills and character traits which will allow our students to become positive change makers in their own and other people’s lives.
Our team of talented staff are friendly and professional, fully committed to the educational, pastoral need and well-being needs of our students. At the Dukeries Academy we live our values. We aspire to act with integrity, are ambitious in our purpose and are resilient in our pursuit of excellence. We are a Disability Confident Employer, at ATT we are passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and welcome all applications.
