We are looking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic practitioner who will, under the guidance of the Director of Maths, take responsibility for Key Stage 3 in maths. Applications are welcomed from both current postholders and ambitious teachers with a proven track record of success and the desire to be an outstanding leader. This exciting role will provide the successful applicant with the opportunity to help shape the provision of maths in the vitally important first three years of secondary education and beyond. 

You will need to be committed to our vision of becoming an outstanding school and to supporting the maths team in delivering consistently high standards for students of all abilities. Responsibilities will include monitoring and evaluating student progress and leading the development of teaching, learning and assessment in Key Stage 3. As a leader in our school, you will work closely with Assistant Team Leaders from other curriculum areas in developing and improving teaching and learning and will be responsible for ensuring that every student enjoys an excellent experience across their maths lessons. 

If you are a highly effective teacher, able to form excellent educational relationships with students and staff and are confident at leading on the development of challenging and engaging schemes of learning, we would love to hear from you. The ability to teach maths to both GCSE and A-Level is essential.

In return we offer:
