Job overview
MCA is a small, friendly, oversubscribed school with high standards and expectations. We pride ourselves on knowing every young person well. Student welfare is at the heart of all our work and we have the highest aspirations for every child in our community.
In September 2019, it will be an exciting time as we relocate to a purpose built new-build school in Bordon. Currently under construction with an investment in excess of £30M, it will include state of the art facilities for all departments.
Our Plan-Deliver-Assess focus means that we have stripped away unnecessary bureaucracy and meetings, allowing teachers to spend time on these 3 important parts of their role. Teachers have time to plan great lessons, enjoy delivering their lessons and assess progress efficiently to inform the next stage of their planning to meet student need.
Last academic year, a group of teachers piloted a new approach to assessing the work of students in their classes to inform their planning, rather than providing detailed feedback to every child individually. The pilot was highly successful and has been implemented as a whole school approach to assessing and planning.
Every teacher has saved a significant amount of time which they now use to plan more precisely to address misconceptions and tailor learning with their classes.
Removing other time-consuming activities which prevent teachers from doing their job effectively has also led to considerable student enjoyment and progress which has consequently improved GCSE outcomes for our students. It also means great teachers stay at Mill Chase and we have created an exceptional teaching staff here.
Teachers are very well supported by an excellent professional support team at all levels who share our goal of every child achieving their very best whilst enjoying a rich and varied curriculum with plenty of opportunities to excel outside the classroom.

About Oakmoor School
Oakmoor School is a brand new, state of the art secondary school situated in a 22 acre tree lined site on the edge of the South Downs National Park.
We benefit from cutting edge technology throughout the site and the latest specialist equipment for key areas such as science, technology and performing arts. Our main buildings surround a central court yard which includes covered areas for outside dining and seating areas outside of the learning resource centre for reading at break and lunch times.
There is an abundance of green spaces which include several sports pitches, an athletics track, a nurture garden and a forest school area for outside learning and activities. The whole site is bordered by mature trees providing a relaxing and inspirational backdrop to our inspirational learning environment.
We are a very successful school where high levels of respect and conduct prevail. Our success shows that when you couple high quality pastoral care with high standards and expectations, young people are able to flourish and to achieve their very best.
