Lead Practitioner KS3 Maths

Required for September 2023

Full time – permanent

LPS 6-8 (£50,368 - £52,917)

Due to a further significant increase in school roll, the governors seek to appoint a well-qualified, driven and ambitious teacher to join our Maths department. You will be able to teach the entire ability range at KS3 and KS4, and must be able to show a track record of successful GCSE outcomes. This is a new position in school, and due to cohorts of 220+, is it vital to the overall development of maths. The successful candidate will take the lead in developing the KS3 maths (and numeracy) offer for students at Woodham.

Woodham Academy has undergone a transformation in recent years. Behaviour is excellent, with positive attitudes demonstrated by staff and students. Our results are well above national averages, we achieve positive progress 8 scores and are ranked highly in County Durham league tables. We are oversubscribed for a fourth year in a row, demonstrating the journey we have been on. Staff wellbeing and development are at the heart of everything that we do. The students at Woodham deserve the highest quality of teaching and pastoral care; the successful candidate will be able to deliver both. We constantly strive to get better at everything that we do, but this is achieved in a warm and friendly environment.

“Working at Woodham Academy has enabled me to be the practitioner I’ve always wanted to be. The excellent behaviour of the students, coupled with a supportive and progressive senior leadership team means that staff morale is exceptionally high. At Woodham you really feel that your personal career ambitions are valued, and there are copious CPD opportunities and pathways for progression.”  (staff member March 2021)

“Moving to Woodham was the best decision I have made in my professional career. In my previous school, I was always told that behaviour was fine and that I should just carry on and teach. At Woodham, the behaviour and support truly is what they say. It’s excellent. I enjoy teaching again and enjoy coming to work” (staff member December 2022)
