Teacher of Computer Science and ICT (Part Time)

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 2017 and 2018. Such is the popularity of the Academy that we have agreed to increase our intake (for one year only) from 120 to 144 in September 2019.  In a recent parental survey, 96% of parents said they would recommend the Academy to a friend as a good school for their son or daughter.

We require for 1st September 2019(or earlier if possible):  

We are looking to appoint a part time high quality Computer Science and ICT teacher 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.  

The part time fraction for this post is likely to be 0.5 but this may increase as a result of the timetabling process.  

We expect to appoint to the Main Scale but would consider an appointment to the Upper Scale in the case of a candidate with an exceptional track record of curriculum development and exam success.

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. 

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.

Application is by the Academy standard application form (or the TES generic form) which includes a supporting statement demonstrating how you meet the requirements for the post.  The deadline for applications is 9.00am on Monday 25th March 2019.  

Applications for this post must be accompanied by the Equal Opportunities and Confidential Information forms and sent by email only to: TMArecruitment@macclesfieldacademy.org .  

Curricula vitae or open testimonials will not be considered.
