Head of Maths

Are you passionate about Pythagoras? Can you demystify decimals? Are you a talented practitioner who can teach inspiring lessons to pupils of all abilities and develop their curiosity and fascination about all things numerical? Can you uphold and encourage our values of Respect, Ambition and Bravery?

With growing numbers of pupils choosing our school, we are now looking to appoint a Head of Maths to work closely with our Director of MET, to join a department that wants to encourage all our students to achieve success. 

The successful candidate will have an unwavering commitment to raising standards within the Department and be highly motivated, creative and above all resilient.

We’re situated in the former industrial heartland of Yorkshire, close to the junction of the M62 and A1 and its transport links. The Trust currently comprises four schools across the primary and secondary phases, with plans for future growth and the opportunities that brings.

Our ethos is children first and we’re here to transform the lives of children, many from hugely disadvantaged backgrounds. Working in our schools can be very challenging, but hugely rewarding in terms of the difference you can make to children’s futures by helping them reach their full potential.

Airedale Academy itself is a good school, with solid finances and rising pupil numbers over the next few years. Talk to our staff or pupils and you’ll find out how proud we are of our school, its supportive atmosphere and strong team ethos. We love showing people round, and encourage interested candidates visit and see what makes us great! Contact the HR team on 01977 664555 and we’ll make the arrangements.

Our wellbeing programme includes a range of benefits including break-time refreshments, access to fitness facilities including a gym and weekly yoga, discounted Microsoft products, and visits by a car valet company, as well as regular staff social events.

If you have the vision and skills to deliver inspirational teaching whilst having the focus and drive to ensure successful outcomes are reached we’d love to hear from you.
