Shape your future in education at Thinking Schools Academy Trust’s careers event

The Portsmouth Academy is delighted to be hosting Thinking Schools Academy Trust’s regional careers event on Wednesday 22nd April 2026. 

Taking place in the main hall from 4:30-6:30pm, the event provides a fantastic opportunity to explore current vacancies and network with us to discover the range of exciting roles we have in Portsmouth. 

Regional Director Mr D. Botting will welcome everyone as they arrive, and we’ll soon be announcing a special guest speaker who will share their thoughts on the different pathways into education. 

A variety of roles, both in teaching and non-teaching capacities, will be showcased, and current staff from Thinking Schools Academy Trust will be on hand to answer any questions. 

Mr Botting spoke ahead of the event about why we’re looking for the best talent; helping to achieve our mission to Transform Life Chances 

“This is an exciting opportunity for you to hear more about how to get involved in our work at The Portsmouth Academy and across Thinking Schools Academy Trust. 

“We have a range of roles, as well as the chance to talk about professional growth and learning which is a really important part of what we offer to all our colleagues”. 

The event will also highlight how metacognition is central to everything we do, and Mr Botting is looking forward to seeing what others could bring to the trust. 

“Metacognition and Thinking Tools are essential to how we go about our work; it’s important for our staff as well as our students. 

“We’d also like to hear from you about what you can offer to get involved in supporting our school community as we take the next steps into the new academic year”. 

We take pride in transforming careers, which includes fully funded development pathways, bespoke coaching and mentoring, and opportunities to progress. 

We also offer a comprehensive benefits platform, and access to a range of resources to support your physical and mental wellbeing.
