Teacher of Maths

Overview

About The Role:

We are recruiting an exceptional team of staff to support the next stage of development of a genuinely transformational school. The successful candidates will join a very strong Maths department and will work collaboratively to shape Maths provision at the school, embed the school vision and develop an outstanding school that empowers students. Teaching experience is not a determining factor; applications from NQTs as well as more experienced candidates are welcome.

We will develop every staff member with one-to-one support, coaching and mentoring and access to extensive network training.

• Demonstrate the highest expectations of student effort and conduct, delivered with kindness and warmth.
• Collaborate with the Maths department to shape Maths provision and contribute to school improvement.
• Support students to take responsibility for their own learning and future.
• Engage in ongoing professional development, coaching and mentoring as part of the school’s development plan.

• Leaders minimise unnecessary demands on teacher time by reducing meetings, marking and administrative tasks where possible.
• The curriculum and resourcing enable collaborative planning and team-based curriculum delivery.
• An open-door culture with regular low-stakes feedback and staff input to drive school improvement as the academy expands.
• Opportunities to work with domestic and international educators to shape provision.
• Twice as many training days as standard.
• Weekly staff training tailored to the school’s needs.
• Coaching for every teacher and protected co-planning time.
• Access to high-quality, regular professional development.
