At Marine Academy we deliver a knowledge-rich curriculum that is cohesive, cumulative and highly sequenced. The curriculum is academic, rigorous and challenging. It has been designed with long-term memory in mind; students’ knowledge, skills and understanding are cemented by frequent and systematic revisiting.

As a teacher at Marine Academy your time will be highly valued. You will not be expected to mark homework- this is already planned and set for you.  You will not be expected to attend pointless meetings- our meetings have specific foci, and only happen on a Monday. You will not be routinely expected to handwrite feedback to students. Your lesson observations will not be graded but feedback will help you improve.  Your lessons will not be disrupted by poor behaviour, our RTL system will remove students who cannot follow our rules so that you can get on with teaching.

You will receive fortnightly -1-2-1 coaching in order to make continual improvements within your teaching. This improvement will be aligned to the very latest in educational research and thinking. You will follow Schemes of Learning that are already planned and resourced for you. You will be supported by like-minded colleagues in an atmosphere of respect and creativity.

If you value knowledge, consistency of approach, the very highest academic and behavioural expectations of students and wish to be at the cutting edge of educational development then please apply for the post of Head of History.  Subject specialism essential.   You will have experience of achieving excellent outcomes in this subject and demonstrate the ability to lead a growing department.

We are delighted to be working in partnership with The Ted Wragg Multi Academy Trust- a values driven, rapidly growing Trust with a relentless focus on transforming lives through learning by delivering outstanding outcomes for every student, regardless of background.
