Teacher of Physical Education

Newhouse Academy – part of Hollingworth Learning Trust – has an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of Physical Education to join our academy from Autumn term 2024.

We are looking for a great practitioner who:

• Holds qualified teacher status; specialising in Physical Education;
• Has a real desire to help students achieve all that they can;
• Has values in line with the academy’s priorities of Aspiration, Integrity and Respect.

Newhouse Academy is a comprehensive secondary school, situated close to the M60 in the town of Heywood. We work closely with our partner school, Hollingworth Academy, and are on a school improvement journey to deliver rising academic standards. The emphasis for the academy is the ‘Our People’ high expectations agenda, where we have concentrated on doing the right thing for our people, through a carefully constructed personal development curriculum.

We are very pleased with the progress that the school is making, excited about the potential for our current and future students, and are all working tirelessly to ensure that we keep moving forward, delivering the very best education.

We are delighted by our recent Ofsted report, which graded the academy as ‘Good’ for Leadership & management, Personal development and Behaviour & attitudes. This fantastic achievement followed GCSE results from summer 2023 that led to Newhouse Academy being placed ‘top of similar schools nationally’, by the Fischer Family Trust, based on Progress 8. 

Newhouse Academy has been chosen as one of 50 schools nationally to gain government funding for building development, which will see a brand new build for our Science, PE and Technology departments, and is well underway, set to open later this year.
