Thank you for your interest in working at The Milton Keynes Academy.

The Milton Keynes Academy is a larger than average secondary school for students aged 11-18. We are based in central Milton Keynes, an area that continues to grow and thrive at a rapid rate. The Milton Keynes Academy joined Creative Education Trust in September 2018. Our network consists of eleven secondary and six primary academies. We also benefit from the support of a central team.

Our mission is to ensure that our students achieve the very highest standard they can irrespective of their starting points. We are ambitious on behalf of our students; we strive to ensure that everyone’s potential is maximised. This can be summed up by our vision statement ‘Opportunities for Everyone.’ The golden thread that runs through everything that we do at the academy is our desire and commitment to our students and the local community. In June 2025 Ofsted graded us a good school. The report noted many strengths including our determination to improve the life chances of the young people in our school, especially the disadvantaged pupils.

As well as providing a broad and balanced curriculum, we are committed to imbuing our students with cultural capital so that they can flourish in the wider world. We enjoy some of the best business links in the country and use these well-established partnerships to help us to develop the employability of our students. Working closely with companies such as Deloitte, Metro Bank, John Lewis and Niftylift and organisations such as the NHS, the University of Buckingham and MK College allows our students to develop the confidence and knowledge to seize opportunities.

Being part of the CET family of schools, gives our students the gateway to take part in cross-Trust competitions from annual sports tournaments to Shakespeare festivals, from choirs to public speaking. Schools within the Creative Education Trust pursue a rigorous and continuous programme of educational improvement.

We are looking for a committed, dynamic individual who believes in our mission and seeks to further enhance the provision of our young people. In turn, you will become part of a diverse staff team and will enjoy opportunities to support your development. 

I look forward to receiving your application.

Yours sincerely,
Gordon Farquhar
Principal
