Director of Mathematics

More than just a school, Pool Hayes Academy is a genuine community hub for Willenhall. At the heart of Academy Transformation Trust, we’re growing rapidly and achieving impressive results – in fact, we’re among the best performing schools in Walsall. We’ve recently secured our first Good ratings for Leadership and Management, Personal Development, Behaviour & Welfare and 16 to 19 Study Programmes – and we have some ambitious plans for the future.

You will shape the curriculum, planning schemes of work and coaching colleagues. Apply your imagination to overcome barriers to learning, and collaborate with the community to develop ideas and make Maths more relevant. You will be an important member of the wider team supporting colleagues across the academy with data analysis and impact planning.

You will inspire students at every level of ability, and go the extra mile to close attainment gaps and engage pupils with special needs. As an experienced and outstanding classroom practitioner with real insight into cutting edge learning strategies, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running, and you’ll be keen to accelerate our journey towards Outstanding through your leadership. Above all, you will be able to apply your imagination to make Maths a subject of choice.

This role would be ideal for an ambitious teacher of Maths who already holds a position of responsibility and is looking for a new challenge or to take their next step. We take pride in investing in all of our staff and we will help you to accelerate your career. You can expect heavy investment in your CPD and plenty of scope for career development within our rapidly expanding Academy or the Trust’s network of schools. Within Pool Hayes, we will provide an SLT mentor to develop whole school responsibilities and understanding.
