We are proud to announce that, in addition to our existing Alternative Provision, we will be opening a new 48-place specialist provision on 1st September 2026 in Crewe.   We are recruiting for multiple teaching vacancies.   This is an opportunity to make a real difference to the outcomes for young people in our growing school. 

Cornerstone Crewe will cater for children aged 7 to 13 years old with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs or Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).  The provision will operate under the same ethos that defines Cornerstone:  authentic relationships, adaptive to need, and child centred practice.  It will be a school where children can flourish and be the best they can be, supported by caring and dedicated staff who are committed to helping every child thrive.

We are particularly interested in teachers who:

• Are committed to inclusive education and adaptive teaching approaches
• Have experience supporting learners with SEMH, ASC, and adopt a trauma-informed approach in their practice
• Can confidently teach beyond traditional key stage boundaries, ensuring learning meets both stage and age
• Hold high expectations and strong aspirations for all learners
• Have experience supporting transition between primary and secondary phases and between mainstream and specialist

As a founding member of staff, you will play an important role in shaping the culture, curriculum and learning environment of a new and ambitious school.   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.
