Required September 2020
MPR / UPR + TLR 2.5 (£5481)
The North East Learning Trust is seeking to appoint a Second in Mathematics. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high achieving maths department and will be based in Teesdale School and Sixth Form, recently rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. We would like our Second in Mathematics to work with and contribute to the development of highly motivated students. This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate where you will join a close and talented team of strong mathematicians who work together to provide an excellent provision.
We have 628 children across Key Stages 3 and 4 and Post-16. Our small size means that you can really get to know your students; know who they are; their aspirations, ideas, talents and dreams, bringing out the best in them and helping to champion their ambitions and give them a great start in life. Maths is a strong subject at Teesdale where at least 10% of our GCSE students have achieved grade 9 in each of the past 3 years, and, in 2019, 68% achieved grades 9-5 which puts us amongst the highest achieving state schools in the North East.
Nestled in Barnard Castle in the spectacular Teesdale countryside and imprinted with the historic values of the Dales and our close-knit community, Teesdale School is a place where traditional values of kindness, respect and hard work take precedence. Within 30 minutes of both Darlington and Durham and just over an hour from York and Newcastle, our idyllic yet convenient location affords our staff an enviable quality of life.
The successful candidate will:
• Contribute to leading the strategic direction and development of the department.
• Drive forward the continuing quality of teaching and learning.
• Contribute to the managing of staff.
• Have a passion for Mathematics.
• Have the vision and determination to lead within the Mathematics Department to ensure all our students receive excellence every day.

About Teesdale School
Nestled in Barnard Castle in the spectacular Teesdale countryside and imprinted with the historic values of the Dales and our close-knit community, Teesdale School is a place where traditional values of kindness, respect and hard work take precedence.
In July 2019 we were awarded an ‘outstanding’ judgement in all areas from school inspectors Ofsted - the highest grade a school can achieve. This judgement, along with our subsequent excellent A level and GCSE exam results in August has accelerated our aspiration to become the very best school in County Durham. In 2020 we were named as the Sunday Times State Secondary School of the Year.
Our school teaches over 600 children, all of whom we know individually. We know not just their progress and grades, but take pride in knowing who they are; their aspirations, ideas, worries, talents and dreams. By understanding not just what our students can do, but who our students are, we can truly bring out the best in them, helping to champion their ambitions and nurture their talents.
