Do you have a passion for Maths?  Do you feel like a cog in the mainstream wheel and ready for a new challenge?  We have an exciting opportunity for an inspirational and student centred Assistant Head to develop and lead Numeracy across the school.

The successful candidate will make an important contribution to continuing to raise standards, set high expectations and provide expertise and passion in equal measures to ensure innovative practice puts the school at the forefront of specialist education and intervention.
