MRS SCOTT (Acting Principal)

I am proud to work with an enthusiastic, dedicated, and hard-working Pastoral Team who encourage and support our students to ensure they achieve their very best while enjoying all Breda Academy has to offer.

I have overall responsibility for our SEND and Newcomer students and work with a dedicated team of specialist teaching staff and teaching assistants to provide the additional learning support and pastoral care some of our students need to fulfil their potential.

As Designated Teacher for Child Protection, I lead the Safeguarding Team and I also have overall responsibility for student wellbeing, working with outside agencies and our pastoral leaders, to ensure that all our students are supported in their learning.

MR ARMSTRONG (Acting Vice Principal - Teaching, Learning and Progress)

At Breda Academy we take pride in getting to know each student as an individual so that we can make sure that they each have the best possible access to success and opportunity in the future. This child centred, learning focused approach, is underpinned by the positive ethos, culture and values of our school community. I oversee Teaching, Learning and Progress. I work with amazing staff at Breda to ensure continuity and progression in learning and high expectations for all students.

MRS PARRY (Acting Vice Principal - Student Support and Wellbeing)

At Breda Academy we take pride in our pastoral care and I am very proud to work as part of the dedicated Pastoral Team, ensuring that each of our students feel happy and supported in school and are able to reach their full potential.

Within my role I oversee the preventative curriculum and student personal development, ensuring that our students receive the support they require through the implementation of the Outside Agencies Support Framework.  I also have oversight of our Counselling Service which we provide in school on a regular basis.

MS MCMULLAN (Senior Teacher - Data and Systems)

At our school we encourage a culture where our students are ‘Proud to be Breda’ and with oversight of our rewards systems in Key Stages 3-5, I work with staff to recognise and celebrate the achievements of our students through our social media channels, school magazine, website, rewards assemblies and prize night. I also oversee our student baseline assessments which are used to inform learning and teaching and am a member of our Safeguarding Team (Deputy Designated Teacher), which safeguards and promotes the welfare of all our students.

MR MCCONVILLE (Senior Teacher – Curriculum and Timetabling)

I oversee our learning pathways at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5. I work with staff to ensure that our curriculum is designed to ensure students develop the skills, resilience and confidence for success in life and society. We work in partnership with families to support and encourage our students to make progress in their learning and achieve the qualifications they need for further education and work.

MR MCCANN (Senior Teacher - Key Stages 4 & 5, CEIAG and Community Liaisons)

I work closely with staff, students and the local community to enhance the school profile and provide further opportunities for all students. We are pleased to provide progression into Sixth Form where we offer a diverse range of academic and vocational courses to ensure all students receive the support required on their pathway to becoming independent, lifelong learners. Our Careers programme aims to prepare all our students for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of working life in the 21st Century.
