Job overview

Trust Lead Practitioner – Maths (secondary)

Attractive salary negotiable dependant on career stage (Leadership Spine)

January 2020

The Role:

We are seeking individuals to join the Central RSA Academies School Improvement Team. As RSA Academies, we aim to develop exceptional learners by developing outstanding professionals. Our vision is to ensure social justice through exceptional schools.  

We believe in potential as much as experience. You will be a great teacher; you don’t have to have done it for many years to be a strong fit for this role!

Led by our School Improvement Leader, you will use your passion, expertise and subject knowledge in mathematics to drive forward the quality of teaching and learning across all our Academies, working in secondary ages 11-19. Close liaison with primary colleagues through our co-design subject networks will be integral to the role, and you will take a lead role in our Maths Co-Design Subject Team. Regular travel between our schools and our base and training facility in The Assay Studios, in the Jewellery Quarter, is essential as you will be required to work with our leaders and teachers, modelling best practice through teaching, as well as coaching and leading others to ensure we all achieve the same successes.  You will have a base school and, in the first instance and to support your induction, the majority of your week will be based in one hub, where you will be expected to teach. You will have the opportunity to become a Specialist Leader of Education, if you are not already, as part of the RSAA Teaching School Alliance, to support school improvement within and beyond RSA Academies.

Our investment in you:

Our staff work together to ensure the best possible learning for our young people, by supporting each other through expertise and sharing so that our staff can be the best they can be. We will invest heavily in you, through our innovative talent management people strategy, including a detailed year-long induction programme and our innovative ‘Let’s Talk People’ strategy, so that you can invest in our young people most effectively. You will receive TEEP training and have the opportunity to access level 2 TEEP training when appropriate.

Our Trust:

Social Justice through Exceptional Schools.  Do you want to be part of an organisation with a powerful vision and strong values? The Central RSA Academies Trust is a group of primary and secondary RSA Academies with a strong link with the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (known as the Royal Society of Arts, The RSA). This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking, Midlands-based, Multi Academy Trust with a moral drive to ensure the best educational outcomes for our students and striving to make a difference to the lives of our young people. We currently have six schools within our Trust, with children from the age of three up to sixth form aged young adults. Our schools are in two hubs: in Tipton, in the Black Country, and in Worcestershire.  

This post will initially be based at RSA Academy, Tipton. Informal visits to the Academy are encouraged and welcomed, please contact the HR department on either AAHR@rsaacademy.org or 0121 5561351 to arrange a suitable time. Further information about this role, our Academy and the Central RSA Academies Trust, are available from our website at www.rsaacademy.org 

Completed application forms should be emailed to AAHR@rsaacademy.org by 12pm on Friday 27th September 2019.

The Central RSA Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS clearance.

Gospel Oak School, formerly the RSA Academy serves the borough of Sandwell, but due to its geographical position students join us from Wolverhampton and Walsall.  In 2017 the school joined the Central RSA Academies Trust and has been working closely and collaboratively across the trust to offer greater opportunities for all.  Over the last 5 years the trust has grown in size and strength, from September 2021 the trust is now an academy approved sponsor in its own right and the RSA will no longer sponsor the trust, although we will continue to work closely with the RSA.  This changing relationship has provided the trust and the school to rebrand ourselves, the trust will now be known as Central Region Schools Trust and the school; Gospel Oak School.


The rebrand for the school has allowed us to reflect on the true heritage of the local community.  The school is based in Gospel Oak and as a community we are very proud of our Black Country heritage, it is for this reason our new branding reflects the colours of the Black Country along with symbolic representation of the area, with the narrowboat which reflects the locality of the Gospel Oak canal basin, the oak tree for when the parish was so large the parishioners prayed under it once a month and the Black Country links to industry within the area.
