Lead Practioner for Maths

Copley Academy is a rapidly improving school. Our December 2021 Ofsted report describes the “great strides” that leaders have made and praises the “high aspirations” for students and the “broad and ambitious” curriculum. Most importantly, the report also says that students are “happy and proud” to attend the Academy.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with the Associate Assistant Principal (Maths & Numeracy) to lead and develop a team of experienced colleagues. The area of specific responsibility will be to improve the standard of teaching, learning, assessment and curriculum in the Maths Department through effective leadership, management, coaching and training. There will also be the opportunity to carry out outreach work across the trust including the training and development of new teachers.

There will also be the opportunity to grow as a leader through a dedicated CPD package, that will equip the post holder for further future progression.
