Job overview
Who are we?
Manchester Communication Primary Academy is an inclusive 2 form entry primary school in Harpurhey.
We value the principles of nurture and see behaviour as a form of communication.
The school has a vibrant and inclusive environment; parents are well engaged, staff and children enjoy working and learning at the school. Teachers at the school are well supported; We use ‘Maths No Problem’, ‘Read Write Inc’ and ‘Talk for Writing’ approaches to support our teaching in being the best it can be.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for colleagues who will be able to support our children to achieve their best, by nurturing them and showing them love with clear boundaries and consistency.
You will need to see behaviour as a form of communication, and understand that for the children you are working with, it is an indicator of more support being needed.
We are particularly interested to hear from colleagues with experience in the early years, and/or specialist settings.
If I’m still interested, what should I do next?
We think that applying for a new role should always be seen as a 2-way process, you have to be right for us, but the school also has to be right for you. So if you are interested in applying, please do feel free to get in touch, come for a look around, or have a chat about the role.

Manchester Communication Primary Academy (as seen on TV! Britain‘s Got Talent 2022) opened in 2014, moving into a state of the art newly built school in 2015.
Since then we have recruited a diverse and committed team of professionals
who adopt nurturing principles to help children achieve academic excellence. If this sounds like a team which you could contribute to, please do read on.
The Academy has excellent working conditions and offers ongoing support for
continued professional and personal development.
We are therefore looking
to recruit professionals who share our values and have high expectations of
themselves and the children who they teach.
The academy’s support includes the following:
*Coaching approach to professional development; lesson observations not
graded and no ‘data-driven performance management’.
* Sensible approach to feedback on children’s work- verbal feedback policy.
* High quality published schemes of work used for teaching of maths,
spelling and phonics- training provided on these.
* Every member of staff can take one 'flexi day' holiday per year in
term-time.
* Teaching staff have a minimum of 2 slots of PPA per week. 1 slot always
with year-group partners.
* Weekly staff training session centred on training needs.
* Car leasing and technology purchasing schemes by salary sacrifice.
* School finishes at 2pm on a Friday.
* 2 week holiday at October half-term.
* Access to confidential personal support provided by an external agency
(financial advice, counselling etc).
* Excellent career progression routes through a talent management strategy
for those who are keen to develop. All leadership roles at MCPA
are paid through a leadership allowance or scale, including subject leaders
and TA leaders.
