Part-time Teacher of Computer Science and ICT (approx 0.5)

Winner of an SSAT Educational Outcomes Award for 2015, The Macclesfield Academy is a successful and expanding 11-16 school serving a diverse community in South Macclesfield.    The Academy opened in 2011 with a mission to make a distinctive contribution to the provision of secondary education in Macclesfield by becoming an outstanding small school characterised by:

• a welcoming community, 

• a personalised curriculum and

• an enriched experience for all our students.  

The Academy has become the school of choice for many Macclesfield families and was oversubscribed in 2016 and 2017.  We expect this to be the case once again in 2018 as our numbers continue to rise to a targeted maximum of 600.  95% of our parents say that they would recommend the Macclesfield Academy to a friend.

We require for 1st September 2018:  

a high quality part-time (0.5) Teacher of Computer Science and ICT who is fully committed to the aims and values of the Academy.  The ability to offer Business Studies as well would be an advantage but is not essential.  We believe this post offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced or a newly qualified colleague looking to join a friendly and successful team.  We expect the contract fraction for this post to be 0.5 (half time) but we are still working on the final details of our staffing and timetable for next year and this may change.  We expect to make a permanent appointment but may make a fixed term appointment in the first instance pending further analysis of our staffing needs. Our Subject Leader for Technology, Mrs Rebecca Lucas, will be happy to answer any questions you may have.  Rebecca can be contacted on rebecca.lucas@macclesfieldacademy.org.

This post will be paid on the scale M1-M6 and the candidate appointed will be able to access our wide-ranging CPD programme including performance coaching and NQT mentoring as appropriate.  Further details are available on the Academy website at www.macclesfieldacademy.org.   

Application is by the Academy or TES standard application form and should include a supporting statement demonstrating how you meet the requirements for the post.  The deadline for applications is 9.00 on Friday 8th June.  Applications for this post must be made using the appropriate forms and sent by email only to:  TMArecruitment@macclesfieldacademy.org.  Curricula vitae or open testimonials will not be considered.
