We are seeking to appoint, from January 2017, an enthusiastic and visionary leader for our team of dedicated Maths teachers. The successful candidate will benefit from the support of a very capable second in department who can lead on upper school Maths, and a Vice Principal line manager who is a Maths specialist. The AP (Maths) post-holder will need, at least initially, to lead on KS3 Maths and numeracy across the curriculum within the school, and will also work with colleagues from the feeder primary schools to improve the quality of Maths teaching across the cluster. Support with this may include the opportunity to complete the MaST programme, which can count towards an MA in Education, subject to the candidate’s availability.
You will be joining the school at an exciting time as examination results across the whole school at both A level and GCSE have seen rapid improvement and the school is expanding. 70% achieved grade 4+ in both Maths and Englisn in 2017 and our estimated Progress 8 score is +0.38. At A level the proportion achieving AAB or better was 19%.
Prince William School is located in Oundle, within easy commuting distance of Peterborough, Stamford, Huntingdon, Wellingborough, and Corby. It is a vibrant and friendly school with enthusiastic, well-behaved students who are eager to achieve the best they can, and colleagues who are keen to work together as a team and share best practice. We strive to deliver the challenging and inspirational curriculum our students need to prepare them for the ever changing world they will find themselves in.

Thank you for visiting our profile and I’m delighted to welcome you to Prince William School, part of the East Midlands Academy Trust community of schools.
The EMAT vision is “every child deserves to be the best they can be” and we wholeheartedly believe in this vision of providing the best education for each and every one of our young people.
Our curriculum is well-sequenced, aspirational for all and has excellent teaching and behaviour at its foundation. We ensure that we develop the character in our young people to make the right decisions, at the right time, for the right reason, even when no one is watching.
At both GCSE and A level, our outcomes are very strong, and Ofsted recognise that our school is a “calm and friendly place” where our students “enjoy school, feel safe and are happy” and “respect staff”.
Our commitment to a wider curriculum goes beyond the classroom and we have an excellent range of leadership and enrichment opportunities for all students at all ages that stretch their social and emotional skills. The careers provision at Prince Williams School is exceptional; it is tailored to each individual student with a one-to-one meeting with our dedicated career adviser in Key Stage 3 and in Key Stage 4. The RSE curriculum allows our students to express their thoughts on a range of challenging topics and encourages them to develop their oracy and articulation skills to become confident in expressing themselves verbally.
We are fully committed to safeguarding our young people and all decisions are made with a lens of safeguarding their wellbeing. We are an inclusive school and our behaviour system is simple and straightforward for all to understand, allowing teachers to focus on the quality of teaching and deliver excellent learning opportunities.
I am incredibly proud to be the headteacher of PWS and, with an open-door culture, welcome any questions or queries. As a community, we will work collaboratively to find solutions and overcome any barriers that any of our young people have to fulfilling their incredible potential.
