Job overview
At Westbourne Academy, we do whatever it takes to give students a better future. At the heart of Academy Transformation Trust, our mission is to create opportunity – and as our latest Ofsted inspection noted, “a far higher proportion of pupils – significantly above the national average – now move on to employment or higher education”. With close involvement from parents and the local community, we pride ourselves on our diversity and offer exceptional pastoral provision to create well rounded, fully developed young adults. You can join us in our mission and help us become Outstanding.
You will place Maths at the heart of our curriculum, emphasising its importance to most careers in commerce. We will look to you to create lessons that are challenging and involving, with clear relevance to the real world, and in return we will give you the support you need to release your potential.
With a proven record of success up to GCSE level and full familiarity with the KS3 curriculum, you will be ready to demonstrate that you’re capable of exceptional results – and we don’t just mean in examinations. Where barriers exist to learning, you will break them down, ensuring that pupils of all abilities develop real love for your subject – and relish the opportunity to shine.

About Westbourne Academy
Westbourne is a calm and happy school. We try not to take ourselves too seriously but know that preparing young people for the adult world is an important undertaking. Since opening, attitudes, aspirations and expectations have been transformed. We believe that our circumstances are quite unique and, therefore, that we can make a massive difference to the students we serve.
Currently we have around 1010 students. Many of our students do not have the easiest backgrounds and we are determined to ensure that we remove as many barriers to learning as possible. Around 30% of our students come from a disadvantaged background. We are delighted that Ipswich has been deemed an opportunity area for the DFe and look forward to taking an active part in this initiative to tackle disadvantage.
We also have the pleasure of 30% of our students speaking English as an additional language and value the cultural diversity they bring.
