Job overview
We are looking for a suitably experienced and talented individual to join us as Head of Mathematics.
Caldicot School is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive serving the local and wider community. The school has over 1300 students and is situated between Chepstow and Newport, with easy access via the M4 corridor and on the northern side of the Severn Estuary.
The school is at an exciting stage in its history. In September 2017, the school moved to a new £36m purpose-built site and now boasts some of the finest facilities in the country. Over the last two and a half years, there has been a significant number of changes at the school which has supported rapid improvements in provision and outcomes. This includes a new staffing structure, with clear career progression routes for staff, as well as a refined curriculum, designed to strengthen knowledge, understanding and skills. This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking school. Our students take part in a broad range of activities that help them become "well-rounded" and the school's commitment to a values-driven education helps shape students to become positive role models in our society.
About the role
The appointment has arisen as a result of the promotion to Assistant Headship of the current post-holder. As a core subject, all students follow mathematics up to and including GCSE level. Student performance is rapidly improving and is now broadly in line with expectations. However, there is the desire to improve further on this, particularly at GCSE level. The mathematics team consists of eleven very capable and hard-working specialist teachers who have a broad range of experiences.
The department is situated over two floors in a designated area of the school. Each classroom is fully equipped with the interactive technology, including classroom visualizers; interactive whiteboards and all teaching staff are issued with a laptop computer. We believe the role would suit a highly effective mathematics teacher looking for their first leadership role or an existing middle leader searching for a new school context.
Closing date for applications: 7th January 2022 at 12 noon.
