Teacher of Maths

Full time, Fixed term contract from 1 January 2015 to 31st August 2015 (a permanent contract is available in exceptional circumstances).

The Macclesfield Academy opened in September 2011, our predecessor school having been in the National Challenge and an OFSTED category. In three years, we have established ourselves as one of the fastest improving schools in England and, in January 2014, were graded as Good by OFSTED. We are at the heart of the Aspirer Teaching School Alliance: an exciting collaboration of local schools playing an increasing role in Initial Teacher Training, school improvement and research and development. This area of our work will ensure that all Academy staff can access a wide range of outstanding professional development opportunities.

We are striving to be a welcoming community where all our students succeed because of the way we personalise the curriculum to provide an enriched experience for each individual. Our OFSTED report concluded that "a positive ethos pervades the school". We are looking for a colleague who will exude this sense of positivity. We expect to appoint someone who is relentlessly positive about young people and their capacity to achieve extraordinary things, who will go the extra mile to enable them to make their best better, and who is, themselves, committed to a career of continuous self-improvement.

This post would suit an NQT but we would consider paying additional points on the main scale for a more experienced colleague. Please see our pay policy (attached) for further details.

The Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and satisfactory references. The Academy is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, particularly from members of groups which are protected under the 2010 Equalities Act.

The vacancy will close at 9 am on Friday 14th November

Interviews will be held in the period 17th November - 28th November 2014

Please let us know at the time of your application if there are any dates in this period when you would be unavailable for interview.
