Assistant Director of Maths

Following the promotion of the current post holder, we have a rare opportunity to join our amazing school as Assistant Director of Maths from January 2024 or sooner if available. You will be an ambitious, motivated and compassionate leader with a proven track record of raising standards. The school is on a rapid improvement journey and you will need to be fully committed to investing time, effort and expertise with all teams at the school to further contribute to this journey. 

Maths is taught up to and including A Level, where it is becoming increasingly popular. As Assistant Director, you will be part of the school's middle leadership team, supporting the Director of Maths and other staff to raise standards. You will particularly take a lead on the quality of education in Key Stage 4.

The Maths team is a large but friendly and collaborative team, teaching together on one floor of a new building. We are well resourced and the wider senior team, and The Mercian Trust are fully supportive.

You may be new to leadership, or more experienced, but we are committed to supporting you every step of the way; we are a genuine team.

As part of this journey with us you will find it extremely rewarding personally and professionally; there can be significant barriers and challenges to overcome but our children, their families, the wider community and the school itself all deserve to have the very best people championing them whilst maintaining high standards.
