At Magna Academy we are wholly ambitious for every child to have an education that will give them an enriching and fulfilling life. Our Academy is a vibrant and exciting place to work and was graded as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in June 2015 and December 2018. In 2018, Magna achieved a Progress 8 score of 1.15, placing us 24th nationally (top 1%) and has achieved excellent results again in 2019. We value our staff highly, and treat work load very seriously. Our systems ensure teachers can really focus on the core purpose – teaching in a sustainable way.

What we offer:

• Collaborative planning with centralised, shared units of work and resources

• Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities
• A professional progression model to enable great teachers to remain in the classroom via our Lead Practitioner (LP) and Specialist Leaders of Education (SLE) routes
• State of the art facilities and a very pleasant location in beautiful Dorset

The successful candidate will be an excellent teacher of PE who has a passionate belief in the ability for all to succeed. They will be a conscientious and enthusiastic team player who will be joining at an exciting time with the growth of new teams and sports opportunities for students.

Located next to a sports centre, there are fantastic facilities and a desire to introduce sports academies and coaching over the academic year. This position has arisen due to maternity leave, although as the academy grows, there will be growth within the department. There may also be an opportunity for additional responsibility as a Behaviour Lead for the right candidate.
