Newhouse Academy
Secondary Teacher
Newhouse Academy are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, talented, highly motivated and strong classroom Teacher of ICT for September 2024.
You will be part of a collaborative department that is experienced and focused on helping students achieve. Within this role there is an opportunity for internal professional development to teach Computer Science.
Newhouse Academy is a comprehensive secondary school, situated close to the M60 in the town of Heywood. We work closely with our partner school, Hollingworth Academy, and are on a school improvement journey to deliver rising academic standards. The emphasis for the academy is the ‘Our People’ high expectations agenda, where we have concentrated on doing the right thing for our people, through a carefully constructed personal development curriculum.
We have been chosen as one of 50 schools nationally to gain government funding for building development, which will see a brand new build for our SEND, Technology, Science & PE departments, and is well underway, set to open later in the year.
We are delighted by our recent Ofsted report, which graded the academy as ‘Good’ for Leadership & management, Personal development and Behaviour & attitudes. This fantastic achievement followed GCSE results from summer 2023 that led to Newhouse Academy being placed ‘top of similar schools nationally’, by the Fischer Family Trust, based on Progress 8.
As part of our drive to increase wellbeing, teaching staff receive a higher than 10% non teaching time on their timetable. There is dedicated CPD time each week, staff are then given time to work on implementing this into their lessons. We have two staff leading wellbeing for the Academy, running initiatives such as the Wellbeing cafe, staff breakfasts and earlier finish times.
If you have a strong character, energy, credibility and the ability to inspire; if you can motivate and challenge others; we’d love you to join us in taking this journey.
With academy values of Aspiration, Integrity and Respect, we are embedding an ‘Our People’ culture through everything we do and our high expectations of both students and staff are bearing fruit.
We believe in providing a high quality education for students and are committed to the continuous professional development of staff.
‘Doing the right thing for our people!’

- Membership of the Teachers’ Pension scheme
