We are seeking to appoint a talented and ambitious Department Leader of Maths. The successful candidate will be an excellent classroom teacher who is highly motivated and has a real passion for Maths and for developing the subject and colleagues. All Department Leaders have responsibilities both within and beyond their Department and therefore the role provides outstanding professional development opportunities as well as providing an excellent opportunity for an ambitious colleague to develop their leadership skills further.

The standard of teaching throughout William Edwards School is incredibly high and the Maths Department is no different. Working to inspire a real love and interest in Maths for all students, we understand just how important a role we have to play in their future successes and what an important role the school has to support our teachers. The Maths Department has a team of highly motivated teachers, determined to achieve the highest standards for the students that they teach. You will be well supported by a Lead Practitioner and a subject specialist as your line manager. If you have energy and passion for your subject and would like to lead a dynamic, collegiate and innovative Maths team with a strong track record of success, then we look forward to hearing from you.

Why William Edwards School?

William Edwards is a large, successful, harmonious and thriving mixed 11-16 comprehensive school. Pupil outcomes across the school are historically strong. However, life at William Edwards is about so much more than just GCSE outcomes. We are proud of our national reputation for sport, the arts are extremely strong and we are proud to boast the largest Duke of Edinburgh Award cohort in the East of England. We are one of only a small number of secondary schools nationally to hold both the Artsmark Platinum and the Youth Sports Trust Gold Award for our work in these diverse fields.

Following the school’s most recent inspection in May 2019, Ofsted said that “pupils who spoke to inspectors were effusive about their experience in school” and were are delighted that our recent inspection captured our considerable strengths in teaching, pastoral care, behaviour, pupil support and curriculum. We are pleased that these 'cornerstones' of high quality education remain strong at the school.

SWECET is a growing, cross phase Multi Academy Trust, established in 2015 to serve the needs of its communities.  SWECET currently has three ‘Good’ primary schools, one ‘Outstanding’ secondary and one ‘RI’ Secondary that joined the Trust in April 2017.   The Trust believes that schools should be unique and individual institutions with distinct character and that through effective partnership we can challenge, support and learn from each other in order to raise standards and provide exceptional opportunities for all our young people.   It is an exciting time to be joining SWECET with all schools continually striving to be better. Considered, purposeful growth plans are in place that will be to the benefit of all stakeholders. We were invited by the DfE as an approved sponsor to submit applications to open a new Primary Free School in Havering and Secondary Free School in Thurrock. These are both due to open in 2020.
