Job overview
Eastlea Community School is seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Mathematics Curriculum Team Leader to lead, manage, build and develop a successful Maths Team. This vacancy has arisen as a result of the incumbent’s promotion to a Senior Leadership position in another school.
The Mathematics Curriculum area is comprised of very strong practitioners who have improved Maths at the school a great deal; with the A*-C pass climbing as high as 74% and the expected levels of progress was 84%, which was one of the highest in the borough. In recent times the results have declined. The person appointed will be tasked with ensuring that this recent trend is reversed.
Eastlea is a vibrant inclusive co-educational comprehensive school for 1200 students. It is supported by an energetic and committed governing body and a strong leadership team. Students are articulate, friendly, polite and energetic.
In the 2014 OFSTED inspection, Eastlea Community School was judged as ‘good’ where students learn well because they have very good relationships with teachers. They feel that teachers are always there to help them. Average results, over the last 3 years, are 65% 3+ LOP, 27% 4+ LOP and 56% A*-C.
As the Curriculum Team Leader, you will have a proven track record as an excellent practitioner and be able to claim substantial success with exam groups over a sustained period. You will be conversant with the use of data to identify and challenge underachievement. You will be able to inspire and motivate students and staff. You will need to be committed to making a difference to the lives of young people, to raise standards, expectations and achievement and be able to think strategically and creatively. You will have experience and have the capacity to lead the entire Maths Curriculum effectively. You will enjoy challenge and see potential rather than barriers to learning.
