Work With Us

Matford Brook Academy is a flagship school in the South West and beyond.

We opened to our inaugural cohorts of Year 7 in September 2023 and are looking forward to welcoming our new Year 7 and first cohorts for Nursery & Preschool, Reception and Year 1 in September 2024.

Our mission is to provide an excellent, all-through education which empowers children to believe they can, and should, change the world around them. We reflect this through our mantra: at Matford Brook Academy, we write our story. Our three values of scholarship, kindness and community are woven throughout the design of our school.

Matford Brook Academy will serve children and families from across existing Exeter and in the new housing developments in a brand new, purpose-built space with state-of-the-art facilities.

If you are excited about growing and shaping a new school and are aligned to our values of ambition, selflessness and collaboration, then we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for passionate, dynamic, ambitious and inspirational teachers, leaders, administrators and caretakers to help us realise our mission and enable excellence. Specific roles are now live; we would invite you to take a look on our 'Vacancies' page, and sign up to our Recruitment Event on 24th January.
