Lead Practitioner in Maths

You might be an exceptional classroom teacher looking to develop your leadership experience and significantly influence the pedagogy and practice of others as a Lead Practitioner in Maths. Alternatively, you might be looking to widen your leadership experience or take your first steps into middle leadership. This could be the opportunity you are looking for!

We are seeking a motivated, committed and enthusiastic teacher to join our supportive team and make a significant difference to the students, through highly effective teaching, in a happy and thriving school.

Mathematics is a well-resourced department and is forward thinking in its curriculum and teaching approaches. The role involves working closely with the Director of Mathematics, developing current teaching practice, curriculum and assessment. Wider aspects of this role include coaching, mentoring and intervention. The department is represented on the ‘Sustaining Mastery NCETM Workgroup’ with the Turing NW Maths Hub. We have also run Axion Maths this year and been a part of the EEF Trial for Coachbright focussing on peer to peer coaching in Maths.

The post offers a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative, proactive faculty with opportunities to develop as a leader and teacher. There will be plentiful opportunities to further develop your curricular and co-curricular experiences.
