The governors of Darland High School are looking to appoint a passionate Mathematics teacher and a committed team player to join our Faculty of Mathematics. You will join a very high performing team, who have experienced significant improvement in both KS3 and KS4 outcomes in recent years.
Darland High School is an 11-16 English medium comprehensive school with 850 students on roll. Serving a cluster of villages in between Wrexham and Chester, the school enjoys easy road and rail access to North West England and North Wales.
The school has a reputation for academic excellence, achieving results at both key stages, which are consistently above both local and national averages. Results in Mathematics have improved significantly in recent years and this year, 75% of the Year 11 cohort achieved A*-C in either Mathematics or Mathematics Numeracy GCSE, with 32% gaining A or A*. We have close relations with the local community as well as with neighbouring schools, with whom there is a spirit of active curriculum collaboration. The school is set in extensive landscaped grounds and has benefitted from a major rebuilding programme, which saw a new science and ICT block open recently. As a result of the significant and sustained improvement in standards at the school, we are oversubscribed for September 2017.
The post will suit a new entrant to the profession as well as a more experienced practitioner. All teachers of Mathematics have their own classrooms with interactive whiteboard and are issued with a laptop and iPad.
Please note the deadline for this post has been extended to midday on Tuesday 17th October 2017.

About Darland High School
Darland High School is a hidden gem in the picturesque village of Rossett in North East Wales. We are a mixed, English-language high school serving pupils aged 11-16 in the surrounding villages of Rossett, Marford, Gresford, Holt and Llay. Set in extensive beautiful grounds the school has 850 pupils on roll.
Established in 1958, Darland High School became a comprehensive school in 1972. An extensive building programme over the years has seen the creation of the Griffin Centre, a modern two story building, housing ‘state of the art’ science laboratories and ICT suites. A new library, complete with a full ICT suite, a remodelled foyer and new cookery facilities have also been added recently.
In September 2019 we welcomed new Headteacher Joanne Lee, who has brought in many changes and the school is a 'buzz' of activity. We are at an exciting time, along with extensive refurbishment of the site our team are in the process of developing an engaging New Curriculum for a new generation of students.
Our team of over 130 staff, dedicated and hard-working, are driving towards our common goal - to offer an excellent education to the communities we serve.
We welcome tours of the school prior to application.

Joanne Lee
