About Us

MacIntyre Academies' mission is to become a leading Special Academy Trust that provides outstanding outcome-focused state education by promoting high aspirations, empowering parents as partners and successfully equipping every child for adult life.

We currently have 4 Academies. Endeavour Academy in Oxford opened in 2014 and is an academy for children and young people with autism and associated severe Learning difficulties aged from 9 to 19 years old. In 2015 we opened Discovery Academy in Nuneaton, for children with social, emotional, and mental health needs and /or autism. In 2017 we opened Quest Academy also catering for children with SEMH and/or autism. Finally, in September 2020, Venture Academy based in Henley-in-Arden joined the Trust catering for pupils in years 5-11 (ages 9-16) who may have Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties and/or Diagnoses of Autism or an associated condition.

MacIntyre Academies benefits greatly from its sponsor MacIntyre, which over the last 50 years, has developed a strong reputation nationally, as a high quality, person centred organisation.

The Role

We are currently recruiting for an inspirational and creative Class Teacher to join the school. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of something special and change the lives of vulnerable young people.

Reporting to the Assistant or Deputy Principal you will be responsible for the delivery of teaching and learning within the age range of 8-19 years, following the school’s bespoke curriculum framework, whilst looking for continuous improvement by monitoring and assessing the progress and attainment of our young people. You will line manage teaching support staff and provide effective communication and guidance surrounding lesson requirements.

You will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to successfully deliver the vision, ethos, aims and objectives of the academy. This will enable successful learning and achievement by young people and sustained improvement in their spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical well-being in preparation for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
