Job overview
We seek to appoint a Teacher of mathematics. The ideal candidate for this vacancy will be an ambitious, passionate and dedicated teacher, possessing outstanding teaching skills and an enthusiasm for the subject. If you feel that you have these attributes and skills, and are a suitably qualified, highly motivated professional, then we would like to hear from you. Applications from NQTs are welcome.
The department enjoys first class facilities as a result of an extensive rebuilding programme completed in January 2013. These are currently being further enhanced to provide even more teaching space in the growing mathematics department. All classrooms contain a modern electronic lectern with an inbuilt networked PC and visualizer, this is connected to an interactive whiteboard with inbuilt audio speakers. The mathematics classrooms are all connected to a lead lesson space that contains a large screen and facilities for breakout intervention groups. The department enjoys a staff workroom connected to this central teaching space. A dedicated photocopier, scanner and printer is also provided in the area.
At Tudor Grange Academy excellent teaching and learning is at the heart of all that we do. Professional development is very important to us and we offer a comprehensive programme of professional learning, to enable you to continuously develop your practice in a school where students fall in love with learning, embrace a growth mindset and are successful.
The mathematics department has celebrated fantastic progress since the opening of the Academy. It is a very hard working, supportive and ambitious department which is completely committed to excellence and aspires to be the leading department within the academy. We are dedicated to offering students a positive and enriching experience in mathematics through a challenging and inspiring curriculum. We also provide further learning opportunities for students after school, such as our Key Stage 3 club called ‘Number Crunchers’ to support lower ability students and STEM club in collaboration with the science department for our more able students.
All schemes of work are developed collaboratively within the department and are excellently resourced and shared in centralised electronic folders. This enables the staff to work collegiately: team planning is a regular feature of the department.
A clear assessment calendar drives a focus on marking and feedback. The department strives to provide diagnostic marking and feedback which has a clear impact and presents opportunities for students to make immediate improvements.
The mathematics department is well supported by the school and this allows for extra mathematics interventions to take place for year 11 students. Students are targeted for morning intervention sessions and also for after school support and this has contributed to our strong GCSE results. The department also benefit greatly from being part of a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), which among other advantages, reduces teacher workload and provides more robust and reliable assessment data.
We are now seeking to augment this fantastic team with an equally skilful and committed colleague. We welcome applications from those who are just about to embark on their career and are motivated and driven in a supportive and ambitious environment, as well as from more experienced colleagues who feel they have that something extra to offer such as an extensive track record in teaching to A-level.

Tudor Grange Academy has quickly developeded a reputation as a school that is truly in the community. We opened on September 1st 2009 and with the support of the outstanding sponsor school Tudor Grange School, Solihull, we have made great strides forward.
The ethos of the Academy is built around a set of core values:
- Meeting the needs of every student
- Quality in all that we do
- Raising horizons
- Blending tradition and innovation
- The whole is greater than the parts
- Inclusive and collaborative
The Academy provides a broad, balanced, innovative and motivating curriculum, individually tailored to the needs of each student. We are always outward-facing, because learning in the home and the community is as important as learning in the classroom and because we want our students to be active members of their local, national and international communities.
We know that everyone is different & whatever their flair or talent, we prioritise developing their aspirations through new experiences. We dedicate an afternoon a week for most students to pursue new experiences or access the time, people and resources they need to be able to excel in their chosen field through our skills, action and service curriculum.
The students at the Academy are constantly stretched with problem-solving tasks demanding higher-order thinking and new applications of prior learning. Though we feel that the students need to be aware of the individual disciplines of subjects we are careful to organise our curriculum so that they are able to recognise links between their learning and see the relevance of the skills they are developing in real-life contexts.
Central to the Academy is the college structure which has a focus on building a culture of success where achievement is highly valued, celebrated and rewarded. The five college structure allows us to create `schools within the school' so that students really feel that they are a part of their learning community and so that we are alert to and able to respond to the ever-changing needs of every individual in the Academy.
