About Manchester Communication Academy
Manchester Communication Academy was first established in 2010 and has gone from strength to strength each academic year. The Academy has approximately 1200 students on roll in Years 7-11 and we boast a wonderfully rich and diverse school community. MCA is at the heart of the community and is committed to improving educational outcomes for all of our students. MCA is proud to be a community hub and our outward facing work is outstanding.
Exciting plans
MCA is at a very exciting stage of development which will continue to move the school towards excellence. In our 2024 Ofsted inspection, we were recognised as a good school, with an outstanding provision for personal development, and we want to continue to improve on that status by making the staff, student and family experience at MCA an exceptional one. In September 2026, MCA will be opening a brand-new year 7 transition school designed to help bridge the gap between primary and secondary schools. You would be joining the school at an exciting time where you can contribute to a reimagined year 7 curriculum and be part of this really exciting and transformative project.
At MCA, we strive for excellence in everything we do. Implementing an ambitious, text-rich curriculum is a key priority and driving force in our ambition for excellence. We believe in the transformative power of knowledge in ensuring equitable opportunities for success. Our aspirational, bespoke curriculum ensures that all of our students gain the necessary experiences to compete academically, practically, socially and morally in the wider world. In order to achieve this, we invest deliberately in professional development.
Our staff
At MCA, we proactively promote staff wellbeing through our management of workload and additional benefits for staff, such as flexi days and the Employee Assist programme. As a result, our staff are highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals who embrace new opportunities to learn more and keep getting better – a culture that permeates the academy amongst staff and students.
Job overview
We are looking for staff who are aligned with our values and who have the talent and potential to accelerate the school’s journey to excellence. The position is a great opportunity for someone who shares our passion for delivering educational excellence. If you are aligned to our mission and values and could flourish with this opportunity, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
