An opportunity has arisen for a friendly, enthusiastic and skilled kitchen assistant to join our rapidly growing and forward thinking trust catering service based at Alvaston Moor Academy. This will be catering for a community secondary school.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy.
