Maths Teacher

Ada Lovelace Church of England High School, one of four schools in the Twyford CE Academies Trust, is a new seven-form-entry secondary school for pupils aged 11-18 in Ealing, West London.  As a new school within a highly aspirational and academically successful multi-academy Trust Ada Lovelace offers exciting development opportunities and good promotion prospects for talented and energetic teachers who support the ethos of our schools.  The school offers comprehensive T&L and CPD opportunities for all teachers.  The school will develop a specialism in Computer Science and has piloted the integration of computational thinking within its curriculum. This is a particularly exciting addition to the Maths programme at the school and we expect to attract high calibre Maths teachers to work with us in developing this further.

The school, now in its second year, is currently co-located at William Perkin CE High School (Ofsted ‘Outstanding’), and moves to its brand new permanent site in north Ealing in September 2020.  

This is an exciting role for enthusiastic teachers as we prepare our students for GCSE and beyond (the school’s first GCSEs will be in 2023).  Our oldest Year group will start Year 9 in September 2020 so this post is ideally suited to a teacher who is passionate about curriculum design and development, especially at KS4.  The post-holder will be joining an innovative, ambitious and energetic staff group that seeks to deliver an outstanding curriculum, and will be well supported by an experienced Senior Leadership Team.  

This role is suitable for NQT and RQT applicants.  Relations between staff and students are extremely positive and it is easy for every member of the school to be well known by all of the staff.  Staff joining at this time are likely to have a highly motivated drive towards building an outstanding school community within an already highly successful Trust.
