Job overview

Due to the growth of the school, we are looking to appoint an additional teacher to our phase 3 team.

MCPA is a 2-form entry school, this means that the successful candidate will work within a teaching team, supported by a year leader. 

This posts would suit either a newly qualified teacher or someone with more experience.

Who are we?

Manchester Communication Primary Academy opened its doors in September 2014 to a small cohort of EYFS/Y1 children, since then it has grown by a 2-form year group each year. The school is approaching capacity with our first cohort of Y6 in place in September.

Our last Ofsted inspection graded the school as ‘Good’ in all areas, MCPA is ‘a school with a ‘heart’; a kind, caring and supportive community. There are 25 different languages spoken yet every pupil is treated as a member of the same family.’ (Ofsted 2017)

The school has a vibrant and inclusive environment; parents are well engaged, staff and children enjoy working and learning at the school. Teachers at the school are well supported; We use ‘Maths No Problem’, ‘Read Write Inc’ and ‘Talk for Writing’ approaches to support our teaching in being the best it can be. Teachers are however encouraged to develop their own individual styles.

Who are we looking for?

First and foremost, we are looking for an excellent teacher who will make a positive contribution to the teaching team and provide excellent learning opportunities to all of our children.

As an inclusive school, we are keen to recruit staff with a commitment and ability to meet the needs of all children in our community.

We are looking to appoint someone who holds our values of honesty, trustworthiness, bravery and helpfulness to become an inspiring educator.

When does the role start?

The start-date for the role is the 1st of September 2019. 

If I’m still interested, what should I do next?

We think that applying for a new role should always be seen as a 2-way process, you have to be right for us, but the school also has to be right for you. So if you are interested in applying, please do feel free to get in touch, come for a look around, or have a chat about the role.

Closing Date: Monday 24th June 2019

Interviews: TBA
