High aspirations? Looking for an exciting new challenge? Our Academy is a vibrant and exciting place to work and was graded as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in June 2015. In 2016, Magna achieved a Progress 8 score of 0.52, placing us well within the top 5% of highest performing schools nationally.We have a desire to be in the top 1%. 2016 French and Spanish GCSE results were outstanding, ranking MFL in the top 6% of highest performing departments in England for progress.

This position has arisen due to the continued growth of the Academy (we are rapidly expanding and will reach 1200 students by 2018), designation as a NCTL National Teaching School and National Support School and Magna teachers delivering more Spanish to KS2 students at our two sister primary academies, which are both growing in size.

Our tight, robust and no-nonsense behaviour systems ensure you can really teach. Highly visible senior leaders run centralised detentions.

‘The behaviour of students is outstanding. They are exceptionally keen to learn, and show real enthusiasm in lessons.’ (OFSTED, June 2015)

We are looking for an exceptional individual to play an important role in our unique and growing Academy.

There is also the opportunity to work cross-phase, teaching Spanish, at our two sister primary academies in Poole/Bournemouth if you desired this.

It is an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to further develop their career, with development opportunities to also become a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE) if desired.

With great students who behave impeccably, an outstanding team of staff, state of the art facilities, and a very pleasant location in beautiful Dorset, Magna Academy offers an excellent opportunity for an ambitious, talented individual looking to develop their career.
