About Us

In September 2015, MacIntyre Academies Trust will be opening a new and exciting Academy in Nuneaton, Warwickshire for children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs and /or autism, aged between 9 years and 19 years.

MacIntyre Academies is delighted to have been chosen to set up this new Academy which will join the existing ‘Endeavour Academy’ in Oxford which opened in 2014. MacIntyre Academies is sponsored by MacIntyre Charity, which over the last 45 years, has developed a strong reputation nationally, as a high quality, person centred organisation.

The Role

We are currently recruiting for inspirational and creative Class Teachers to join this new and exciting school, this a really exciting opportunity to be part of something very special and from the start.

Reporting to a member of the leadership team you will be responsible for the delivery of teaching and learning within your expertise. The school needs a blend of Key stages 2,3,4 and 5 teachers and you will need to be specific in your application as to the subjects and stages you teach whilst looking for continuous improvement by monitoring and assessing the achievement of our young people. You will line manage teaching support staff and provide effective communication and guidance surrounding lesson requirements.

You will also work closely with internal and external stakeholders to successfully deliver the vision, ethos, aims and objectives of the academy, in turn, enabling successful learning and achievement by young people and sustained improvement in their spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical well-being in preparation for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

You will need to be an exceptional classroom practitioner, hold QTS and have demonstrable experience of working with Children and Young People with either social and emotional needs or Autism, associated challenging behaviour or other complex needs, whilst demonstrating proven experience of implementing the national curriculum. The school will focus on Key Stage 2 and 3 in our opening year before expanding into Key Stage 4 and 5. You will be able to implement strategies for raising achievement across the curriculum and particularly in literacy and numeracy be committed to your further professional development.

As the school expands to key stage 4 and 5 in future years, we will be delivering a more subject based curriculum offering a wide range of GCSE and alternative accreditation such as ASDAN.
