The Trustees of Northern Schools Trust wish to appoint a Curriculum Leader of Mathematics working across two specialist schools within the Trust, Liverpool Life Sciences UTC and the Studio School, Liverpool.

The department supports a shared provision across the two specialist schools.

Courses currently taught at each key stage are:

Key Stage 4

• Functional Skills

• AQA GCSE Mathematics

• Level 2 or 3 Further mathematics

Key Stage 5

• AQA mathematical Studies

• Edexcel A-level Mathematics

• Edexcel A-level Further Mathematics

• Resit GCSE Mathematics

The department also contributes to the teaching of Engineering at KS5 and the specialist provision throughout the two schools and various members of staff lead on additional pastoral and curriculum development as well as PBL activities.

There are currently six specialist mathematics teachers in the curriculum team and there are large numbers of students studying KS 5 provision.

The department is well resourced both with regards to teaching expertise and physical resources to support learning. It has become the bedrock of the successful provision at KS 4 across both schools developing effective learning routines and structures that have enabled it to secure excellent outcomes for all students. The team has further developed during the last academic year leading the way in developing remote and blended learning.

The successful candidate will lead the strong department in its next evolution of outstanding practice. We are therefore looking for a current or emerging Mathematics curriculum leader who has a sharp understanding of the mathematics curriculum at KS4 and 5, the ability to clearly discern what makes effective learning in mathematics and the enthusiasm and vision to take a willing and talented team to even greater achievements.

Northern Schools Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
