Teacher of Mathematics

Tes are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational Teacher of Mathematics on a full-time permanent basis from September 2021. Both experienced and newly qualified teachers are encouraged to apply.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a 'Good' co-educational, non-selective secondary school for pupils aged 11-18. Located in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, it is part of a non-profit education charity with a chain of secondary and primary academies across the Midlands and East Norfolk.

As one of the most improved schools in the UK last year, the school attribute their success to their emphasis on coaching and professional development. Staff have considerable access to a broad range of opportunities to further develop their practice. They are on-going participants in a number of programmes including ‘Teaching Leaders’, Olevi’s ‘Outstanding Teacher Programme’ and ‘Future Leaders’. In addition, staff have abundant opportunities to debate their practice through the ‘Breakfast Learning Team’ and to participate in school-to-school development as part of the growing multi-academy trust that is well supported by leaders in education across the country.

It is because of these opportunities that Ofsted noted the ‘real buzz about the school: learners are enjoying their learning and teachers are enjoying the challenge of developing highly effective lessons and learning opportunities’ when they visited in July 2016. The school was judged ‘good’ in May 2017 (Ofsted).

The mathematics teaching team is led and managed by a Head of Department and there are a range of TLR responsibilities for the quality of teaching and standards in Years 7-13. New leadership in mathematics has prioritised the quality of teaching and learning and as a result, outcomes substantially improved in 2016: 68% of students achieved an A*-C grade and 73% of students made expected progress (and 30% better than expected progress). In 2017 attainment stayed broadly similar. There is a firm foundation in place. The team now seek additional skilful practitioners with the commitment and drive to join them in their pursuit of excellence for all.

The Successful Candidate:

• Qualified Teacher Status
• Expertise in planning the progression of subject skills within individual and across sequences of lessons
• High standard of written and verbal communication
• Successful experience of teaching Maths at KS3 and KS4
• To be able to develop good learning relationships with students so that they are all motivated to learn and make good progress
• Proven track record of good Maths teaching, marking and assessment leading to good progress
• A track record in school improvement and the raising of standards to the highest level
