What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you an outstanding English Teacher seeking a dedicated, supportive and professional English team? Or maybe you are an ECT looking to start your teaching career in a great school within a fantastic location. If so, come and join our community.

What the school offers its staff
The Cornerstone Academy is part of United Learning; a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. Schools within United Learning work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. By collecting expertise and combining resources, we help to make the tough job of teaching a little easier. With a shared curriculum and lesson plans from around the group available to all, our teachers have strong foundations to lead the engaging, rounded education our children deserve. Our intranet site, United Hub, is just one example of how we share these resources and communicate across sites, helping to simplify processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.
We reward our staff with wide career opportunities – between Primary and Secondary, Academy and Independent – better pay, benefits, and ultimately the satisfaction of helping every child at each of our schools to succeed and reach their full potential.
We’re focused on improving our drive to encourage every student to strive to achieve the very best they can be.
If you share our ambition and are an outstanding classroom practitioner, it’s an exciting time to join the academy.
You will have the opportunity to work with a staff team that is supportive, friendly and dedicated to providing the best for our students.
As part of a cluster, you will also benefit from being able to work closely with colleagues across five United Learning secondary academies in Bournemouth and Poole and have the potential to become a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE) or Lead Practitioner.
