Part-time Teacher of MFL (French and/or Spanish) to GCSE (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) MFL teacher who is fully committed to the aims and values of the Academy.  It is essential that the person we appoint can teach either French or Spanish to GCSE.  MFL has an established track record of successfully recruiting students for Key Stage 4 languages and we expect, to have four GCSE groups in Year 9 next year as well as three in Year 10.  A larger contract fraction may be available to candidates also able to offer Key Stage 3 Business and Computer Science.  We believe this post offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced or a newly qualified colleague looking to join a friendly and successful team.  Our Subject Leaders for MFL, Mrs Sally Burgess and Mrs Janet Frank, will be happy to answer any questions you may have. They can be contacted on sally.burgess@macclesfieldacademy.org or janet.frank@macclesfieldacademy.org. 

We expect that 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.   

We expect to make a permanent appointment but may appoint for a fixed term of one year in the first instance pending a further analysis of our curriculum needs.  

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 5.00pm on Monday 4th June 2018.  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.
