Offer description

Overview

We are recruiting a Teacher for our growing AP and School Expansion in Cheshire East. This is an opportunity to join a growing and ambitious Trust, whose aim is to transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable pupils in the region. As a Trust we are not only growing in terms of the number of schools, students, staff and parents but also in the depth and breadth of experience, knowledge and expertise we have across our schools.

Cornerstone currently has two small AP schools and we are hoping to expand from September 2026. We cater for young people in KS1, KS2 and, with our expansion into KS3 from hopefully September 2026, we will offer AP provisions and a new SEN School for KS1, KS2 & KS3 pupils with SEMH and ASD. Our teachers will have the support of therapeutic support staff and a family of support workers to support pupils and families.

We opened our doors for the first time in January 2019 in a temporary building, and have expanded into new school buildings in Crewe and Sandbach. Our specialist provides high quality teaching and therapeutic care for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs. Our staff team is highly skilled and able to adapt, providing personalised education, support and care for all learners. Taking the time to understand the differences of our learners our support can be truly tailored to their specific needs.

To be successful, you will need to exemplify our core values: child centred, authentic in all our relationships and adaptive and sensitive to need. If you feel that Cornerstone Academy may be the right place for you, we hope you will consider applying for the post.

If you would like to arrange an informal visit prior to the closing date, please contact Anne Williams, Office Manager - admin@cornerstoneap.org / 01270 304094
