Teacher of Mathematics

We encourage you to read our website very carefully and familiarise yourself with our 2014 Ofsted report, our prospectus, candidate information pack and application form for the post. What will be clear to you is that you are applying to an extremely successful school and one with a decidedly clear ethos of achievement. We moved, in November 2012, into a brand new £80 million school. The school became an Academy in September 2013 and was recognised by the Department for Education as a Teaching School in 2015. The government’s analysis of examination results has placed the school’s performance in the top 5% of schools nationally over the last decade. The school is committed to developing its teachers and to fostering the development of outstanding teaching. It is a personalised community, committed to creating careers for people. We are experienced in supporting NQTs and indeed enjoy this aspect of staff development but we have had equal success in fostering the careers of colleagues who join having taught in other schools or who have had other careers.  Teachers appointed on the mainscale receive, in addition to their salary, the Holland Park School Allowance.

Teachers provide outstanding Mathematics teaching. There are generous resources and all teachers have their own classroom which includes a range of interactive technology and brand new teaching resources. Mathematics colleagues benefit from the participation in the Prince’s Teaching Institute and their professional development is supported by two Deputy Heads. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are popular with students and there are several A-level groups, with mathematics A Level our most popular subject. The team is supported by a number of talented mathematicians and shared practice is a common theme. Mathematics is given prominence and significance in school, not least by members of the mathematics team who run very popular trips to the London universities, organise thriving participation in the UKMT mathematics challenge and facilitate a popular weekly mathematics competition, in which students from all years (and teachers from other subject specialisms) take part. 

An application form that should be completed electronically is available from the school’s website: http://www.hollandparkschool.co.uk/vacancies/train-and-teach-with-us.  The closing date for applications is Monday 22nd April 2019 however we encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we will seek to interview and appoint on receipt rather than await the closing date.
