DRAGON SCHOOL, OXFORD

(860 boys and girls, aged 4-13)

for September 2017

HEAD of MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHS

(Years 5 and 6)

The Dragon seeks to appoint a graduate to teach Maths to Years 4 to 8 who will be willing to make a wide contribution to the life of this busy, exciting and successful school. The successful candidate would also be responsible for the Middle School Maths curriculum and tracking the performance in Maths of children in Years 5 and 6. The position would suit a teacher with senior school (independent or maintained sector) experience, as well as those who have experience of teaching children of prep school age (8-13 years). Children take Common Entrance and Scholarship exams to leading senior schools at the end of Year 8. The well-resourced Maths department has 10 full–time mathematicians.

All staff contribute to extra-curricular activities. Games players would obviously find their talents used, but the school is large enough for a great variety of cultural and academic interests to be welcomed and to provide ample opportunities for further career progress within the school.
