Job overview
Moor End is an Academy converter and converted to an Academy as an 'outstanding school' in August 2011. Before this the academy was a technology college for over ten years, and this grounding in technology still forms a strong part of curriculum and student experience.
Moor End is an award winning Academy and has continued to be recognised by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’. We have good and often invaluable support from parents. The Academy is an accredited ‘Thinking School’, the first to be awarded this status in the UK. We have worked closely with the Edward de Bono Foundation UK and Manchester Metropolitan University to become ‘An Edward de Bono Foundation UK Centre of Serious Creativity and Constructive Thinking’. Our vision is to become a world class centre of excellence for teaching and learning. Ofsted say ‘The teaching of thinking skills have a distinctive contribution to the quality of learning’
We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2012 and ‘Moor Enders’ from far and wide made contact and wanted to let us know how the school and staff had influenced their lives. We really are making a difference. More recently, the Academy has become just one part of a vibrant campus, which includes; a thirty place pre-school, and the country’s first Presumption Free School – Beaumont Primary Academy. This school will open its doors in September 2018 with a capacity of up to 630 children. The site also houses some Trust offices and a separate conference facility. Truly exciting times!
This is a great opportunity for you to come in with some creative, imaginative ideas to help build and lead the open element of the curriculum from Year 7 through to Year 11. Curriculum enrichment is an integral focus of Computing and Business with students partaking in a variety of activities and competitions both locally and nationally.
As subject leader for Computing and Business in an Outstanding Academy, a wealth of opportunities for personal and professional development will be open to you.
Moor End Academy is a fantastic place to work and Computing department plays an important part of this, we never stand still, constantly looking at ways to improve and offer our students the best learning experience we can.

Moor End is a converter Academy that opened on 17th August 2011. We converted as an outstanding school. Prior to this we were a community school. Moor End is a National Support school. We play a leading role in the training and professional development of teachers and contribute towards the raising of standards across the school system through school to school support.
We are an award winning Academy and have continued to be recognised by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’. We are a truly inclusive school that welcomes students of all abilities. Our aim is to create a safe, stimulating, ambitious and caring environment to enable our students to thrive and achieve excellence; to make certain our future generation have the self-confidence to use their talents and skills to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Our vision is to maximise every child’s potential to ensure we can confidently say,” we gave every student his or her GCSE passport to success.” We passionately believe, as educators, we have the power and responsibility to inspire our students to be the best they can be to enable our learners to pursue their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow.
Our motivation is to ensure that positive relationships are at the core of what we do every day, along with high quality teaching and pastoral care overseen by strong leadership. What we believe will follow is a strong ethos, and students with high expectations who demonstrate exceptional behaviour and want to be part of our school community.
We insist on high standards of behaviour, appearance, work ethic and respect for all to enable our staff to teach our students well so they learn to the best of their ability and leave the Academy with a first-class education.
Central to our ethos is the promotion of our ‘every day’ 3 Core Values: Respect, Ambition and Responsibility, which underpin everything we do on a daily basis.
1. Respect
We are well behaved and considerate to all staff and students in our learning community.
2. Ambition
We are hardworking and have an ambitious attitude to succeed and achieve.
3. Responsibility
We take ownership and act with integrity; we always do the right thing.
We want to expand our family of committed and skilled people, who will directly benefit the future of the next generation. If you wish to discuss any of the opportunities we have on offer, please contact us at jharrison@edu.moorend.org or call 01484 222230.
