Job overview

KS2-3 Transition Teacher (MPS/UPS) (with opportunity to become a Specialist Leader of Education, with salary enhancement)

‘This is an outstanding school. Teachers have high expectations of their students, who respond by producing excellent work.’ (OFSTED, June 2015)

High aspirations? Looking for an exciting new challenge? Our Academy was graded as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in June 2015. As a rapidly growing academy, that will be at full capacity in 2018, and as a newly designated NCTL Teaching School, you would be joining us at a very exciting time.

We are looking for an outstanding teacher to work with a small group of our lowest attaining Year 7 students when they first come to us. Ideally, you’ll be primary qualified (with a specialism in English/Maths) and experienced in working with Year 5 or 6 students, or have been working across KS2 and KS3 already in a middle school (starting September 2017).

As a class, the students will be taught Literacy and Numeracy by you for approximately 36 hours per fortnight; supported by an HLTA and other subject specialists as required. They will be taught practical subjects such as PE with their peers by specialist teachers.

It is an excellent opportunity for either an NQT or someone wishing to further develop their career, with development opportunities to become a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE) with a salary enhancement.

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%. This outstanding achievement has recently been recognised by Nick Gibb MP.

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)

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. Ofsted highlighted our very effective staff training and support and outstanding CPD. We have a very comprehensive, and effective, development programme, bringing all subject areas together every week to share best practice.

We are driven by a desire, at the core of our mission, to get the best possible results for all of our students, no matter what their starting points or circumstances.

‘Students make exceptional progress.’ (OFSTED, June 2015)

You would become part of a vibrant learning community that will offer you fantastic opportunities for CPD, career development, future promotions and for you to be able to make your mark.

We would be delighted to show you around our Academy in order to fully appreciate our excellent learning environment.
