Join Team JQA
At Jewellery Quarter Academy, we are searching for like-minded people to join Team JQA’s mission.

We serve a community in the Ladywood area of inner-city Birmingham and we have a clear social-justice mission. We believe great teachers make a great school; great schools change children’s lives.
