Required for August 2017

Salary: L9 - L13 (£47,967 - £52,930)

An exciting opportunity for a talented and ambitious practitioner to join the fastest improving mathematics department in Leicester.

Over the last 12 months pupil progress within mathematics has improved by almost a full grade (most improved P8 in the city) along with attainment improving by 15% since 2016 results (second most improved in the city).

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic Curriculum Leader to build on the rapid progress already made by the department. You will be well supported, working alongside a senior leader who is a mathematic specialist and leads on whole school data.  Within the department you will also benefit from being able to deploy the skills of the Lead Practitioner to further support the development of staff and students.  In addition to this you will be able to draw on the experiences of other subject leaders from across the Trust.

This is a critical role in the next phase of the Academy’s journey to secure sustained improvement. You will be a key stakeholder in the development of both teaching and learning and wider strategic planning. This role would suit a skilled classroom practitioner who is already an experience middle leader or who is seeking to develop their leadership skills within their first middle leadership post.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• Be passionate about improving the life chances of learners

• Be committed to developing other practitioners 

• Be an excellent classroom practitioner

In return we will provide you with:

• The opportunity to work with our outstanding students

• A bespoke middle leadership programme with potential for further career progression

• An excellent mathematics staff with a highly effective leadership group to support your development

• The opportunity to work with other leaders from across the Tudor Grange Academies Trust
