Assistant Head of Maths

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Head of Maths to develop their leadership at Tarleton Academy, a vibrant and ambitious school with a culture of high expectations. Tarleton Academy is part of Endeavour Learning Trust, a small family of schools in Lancashire and we are now looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and creative Assistant Head of Maths to join our successful, supportive and mutually ambitious team. The successful candidate will join a group of forward thinking academies who have a relentless focus on providing outstanding learning experiences and raising achievement. 

At Tarleton Academy you will help to lead a committed team of specialist Maths teachers and supported by the Head of Maths, you will be involved in collaborative planning and professional development, reviewing and developing schemes of work and resources, addressing gaps in attainment of underachieving students and ensuring progression for all students. The ability to drive high standards, attainment and progress for all learners in Maths and inspire and develop outstanding classroom practice with high aspirations is a common goal for all our staff. A passion for learning with creative ideas, and an ability to build positive relationships and embed an enjoyment of your subject into lessons is essential.

For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish, because we pay close attention to work/home balance. Across the Trust, we continue to develop strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload - these include a proactive behaviour for learning approach which empowers teachers to focus on teaching, including centralised detentions and smart assessment, feedback & marking processes which minimise time spent on onerous tasks.

Our collaboration is central to our Trust and our Teachers learn together, sharing their practice and encouraging and supporting each other to get the best out of our working day. The successful candidate will have opportunities to work with colleagues across the Trust to support and develop teaching with our family of schools.
