Job overview
The Mathematics Department
The Mathematics department is a forward thinking department, which seeks to enthuse the pupils by delivering outstanding and innovative teaching. Across the school, students use Hegarty Maths both in lessons and at home to deepen their understanding and practise their skills. Pupils are taught Maths in sets. At GCSE, students currently follow the Edexcel course and both Mathematics and Further Mathematics are offered in the Sixth Form. To enhance learning outside of the classroom, each year the department selects a theme for Maths week, and organises assemblies and activities linked to this theme. The school takes part in the UKMT individual challenges, team challenges, Royal Institution Masterclasses at the University of Surrey and the department organises trips to events such as Maths Fest.
We seek to appoint a candidate with outstanding qualities of leadership; one who has the vision, enthusiasm and energy to develop further the work of the department alongside contributing to the exciting growth Dunottar is experiencing. The post will appeal to someone with initiative and imagination to shape the identity of the Mathematics department in this forward thinking school. As part of the United Learning group, the Head of Mathematics will work closely with the United Learning Director of Mathematics and their team, and will have the opportunity to engage with Heads of Mathematics from around the group at termly away days.

About Dunottar School
Dunottar is a co-educational school for pupils aged 11-18 set in extensive grounds of 15 acres on the outskirts of Reigate. With a new Headmaster in September 2017, the school is on a very exciting journey. The school is experiencing fast growth in pupil numbers and it recently announced a £6.6Million capital development programme to build a new Sixth Form Centre and a whole school Assembly Hall to accommodate future growth.
Dunottar is a great place to work, with a team of highly professional and committed teachers and support staff. We incorporate best practice from independent schools and academies right across the United Learning Group, whilst retaining our unique, friendly ethos in Reigate where pupils are nurtured to make significant personal progress at the same time as achieving excellent academic results. United Learning is an outstanding organisation which prides itself on providing a working and learning environment which encourages ‘the best in everyone’. You will join a network of staff belonging to 60 other schools, with opportunities to engage with fellow professionals which far exceed what one school could achieve on its own. Personal development and career opportunities are excellent.
