Our vision is that Newmarket Academy will be an outstanding school. We strive to be the best we can be in all areas. We aim to be the school of choice, serving the local area and an outstanding school in the Unity Schools Partnership.

Do you want to work in an exciting and dynamic environment, in a semi-rural setting between Cambridge & Bury St Edmunds and part of a supportive trust that will be there throughout your training & career development?

If so, then Newmarket Academy may just what you’re looking for. The academy is on a journey of rapid transformation and this position represents a unique opportunity to take a lead in the development of the school into an outstanding provider which the community can be proud of.

The academy is a growing 11-16 school within the successful Unity Schools Partnership trust. The ability to collaborate with partner and research schools provides huge opportunities for developing cutting-edge teaching methods that inspire and excite all learners to succeed.

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding enthusiastic Teacher of PE to join our team of passionate and driven subject specialists and embrace the ‘family’ ethos of our school.

If you believe you can help our young people be the best they can be and if you want to work in a supportive, progressive department where you have the opportunity to teach your passion, where students are well behaved and where your contributions are sought and valued, we wish to hear from you.
