High Storrs is a very successful high-performing comprehensive school and have recently become a member of the Minerva Learning Trust. We are situated on the edge of the Peak District and within easy access of Sheffield. In November 2013 the school was graded good by Ofsted with Outstanding for the Sixth Form and student behaviour. Having completed a major refurbishment of our Grade II listed building as part of the BSF programme, we are excited about the future, building upon proven success. We are an ambitious and over-subscribed multicultural learning community with high expectations and high aspirations. In the 2017 GCSE results, we had the best scores for 5+ in both Maths and English for all the state-funded schools in Sheffield, with the Maths results being 83% achieving level 4-9, 70% 5-9 and 14% grade 9’s (31 students).
Due to the recent promotion of the current post holder, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic second in department for September 2018. You would be expected to teach Years 7 to 13, have knowledge of the new 9-1 GCSE curriculum and experience of teaching A-level Maths and the drive and vision to help further develop a high performing team.
You will join an outstanding Maths team in this vibrant curriculum area, work very closely with an excellent department to achieve the best possible outcomes and ensure to give the best learning experience for our students. If you are an established teacher now who wishes to extend their experience in this excellent 11-18 specialist school, we would love to hear from you.
Ofsted Inspectors commented: ‘Well done. It has been a joy to be here, teachers are such positive role models’
If you believe that teaching and learning are the most important activities in a school then we welcome an application outlining which area of the Maths Curriculum you feel that you are most experienced to lead on.
