The teacher will be responsible for planning and delivering high-quality lessons in mathematics and electronics, developing curriculum materials, assessing student progress, and providing constructive feedback. The role also involves participating in school meetings, collaborating with colleagues, and engaging with students to foster an effective learning environment.
To perform all the professional duties of a teacher under the direction of your line manager and be an outstanding classroom practitioner who consistently delivers the highest standards of teaching and embraces our vision of an integrated curriculum that ensures our students achieve the highest outcomes in Electronics.
This role would suit an experienced Electronics teacher or a Maths/Physics graduate who aspires to teach Electronics, Engineering, or Physics. The teaching role would be negotiable and some training will be provided to allow the right candidate to take responsibility for teaching GCSE and A level Electronics.

Values and vision
WMG Academy prides itself as being is like no other school, taking a radical approach to education by putting real, business-focussed, practical problems and challenges at the centre of the curriculum. Students are driven to learn by practicality; doing things, making things, designing things and creating things. Teamwork is a standard practice and core to the academic ethos. In this way students will be much better prepared for the challenges they follow in later life, whether they be in companies, in further education or at University.
Working with the University of Warwick and some of the biggest employers in the region means that WMG Academy has shaped its curriculum from the outset to ensure the training of students with a professional ethos and culture that is in high demand in today’s working world. With a longer working day, high academic standards and business-led dress code, the school’s expectations are explicitly clear to all learners from their first day here to their last.
