Make Manchester Magic at Manchester Academy 

Welcome to Manchester Academy, a vibrant, inclusive school and one of the most improved schools in the country, based in the heart of Manchester. Our improvement was recognised by Ofsted in our September 2022 Inspection, which celebrated the transformation of our school. 

Manchester Academy is highly ambitious for our students and has strong systems to support our determined approach. We have improved rapidly by being innovative and valuing our students and staff. The Academy is full of wonderful staff and impressive teams of people. We are a collective; supporting each other, being open to new ideas or admitting mistakes, listening and learning from each other. Our staff team is a powerful blend of experience and recently qualified colleagues, many of our leaders have progressed through the Academy. 

Our curriculum and teaching model is based on Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction and we offer excellent support for new staff and early career colleagues. Our behavior for learning policy is simple and effective and is supported by a dedicated pastoral team. We have a detailed curriculum across all subjects and dedicate significant time to academic teams to discuss, plan and share planning and resources. As part of one of the most ambitious Trusts in the country, United Learning, we are fortunate to be part of a much bigger network of professional practice which complements the curriculum leadership within the Academy. 

Opportunities are not just focused around our academic curriculum; at Manchester Academy, we firmly believe there is more to a good education than excellent exam grades which is why we are committed to providing an Education with Character. This means that in everything we do - both inside and outside the classroom - we seek to nurture key skills that are vital for life beyond school such as team-building, resilience, creativity, public speaking and enterprise. 

Manchester Academy is looking for passionate people to join our incredible team. We will support you to be brilliant and enjoy your job. Our leadership team is human and put in high presence around the Academy to support and develop colleagues. Every day our staff ‘make Manchester magic’ with our amazing students and change lives. We’d love for you to join us and be part of something you’ll never forget.
