Start Date: January 2027

Contract Type: Full Time, Permanent

Salary: MPR/UPR

Over recent years, Newmarket Academy has achieved notable academic and extracurricular successes and we are proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished.

At the same time, we are excited about the future. We are determined to keep building on this success -continuing to grow, strengthen and raise standards so that every child benefits from the very best education and opportunities. Our vision is simple and ambitious:

Newmarket Academy will be an excellent school. We want to be the school of choice for our community-a school that families trust, students enjoy attending and the wider community feels proud to support.

We are ambitious for every member of our school community and believe that excellence should be evident in everything we do.

At the heart of our approach is a strong no excuses culture, rooted in care and belief. We hold high expectations for behaviour, effort and achievement because we know our students are capable of great things.

Every child is seen as an individual, and we are committed to providing the support, challenge and encouragement each one needs to thrive. We combine high standards with warmth, ensuring that our school is calm, orderly and welcoming -a place where students feel safe, valued and inspired to succeed.

Our core values- respectful, responsible, resilient- capture our approach and we are looking for a Teacher of Mathematics to join us who can model our values and support us on our journey.

We are proud to have been appointed the first lead secondary school in the country for developing the CUSP curriculum (Curriculum Unity Schools Partnership) at secondary level. The CUSP curriculum is well established in the UK and internationally. CUSP is guided by evidence-led curriculum structures, such as retrieval, spaced retrieval practice and interleaving.

It is underpinned by explicit vocabulary instruction and research-focused pedagogy. Combining these has led to exceptional outcomes for young people, as a result of coherent curriculum design and instructional teaching.

 Newmarket Academy is part of Unity Schools Partnership, a forward-thinking academy trust of 40 schools. At Unity, we value our people, and we have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice.
