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

Due to the needs of our youngest learners, our academy are seeking a class teacher (FTC) to bring primary expertise to support a cohort of learners working below their age-related curriculum level. Our school continues to grow and develop and we now work with over 100 children and young people and their families. This role has oversight of learners across years 5 to 8 who are accessing learning at KS3 level.

Please take a look at our website Apply exclusively via the WhatSchool platform. to find out more about us.

As a class teacher you will be fully involved in the strategic planning and daily operation of your class team (staff) and the learners. We are a close staff team, very committed to our learners, our peers and each other. All staff meet every Monday and Tuesday after school. Teachers (whole school and phase specific) and Middle Leaders rotate on a Wednesday meeting.

Our young people have diverse and complex needs and supporting them may include assisting with aspects of personal care. We are committed to ensuring this support is provided with dignity, sensitivity and respect, and applicants should feel comfortable undertaking personal care as part of their role.
