Team Leader of Mathematics and Computing

King’s Oak Academy is a rapidly expanding academy based in Warmley, South Gloucestershire. In September 2015, we moved into an exciting phase of our development where, with a new primary build and the admission of two Reception classes, we became all-through from 4-19 years. Our children benefit from a hugely positive and supporting learning environment, are excited to learn and are real ambassadors for our diverse community. 

King’s Oak Academy is part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) – the largest non-diocesan academy group in the South West. The CLF currently sponsors 13 academies, seven of which are secondary, five are primary and one is a studio school catering for students aged 14 to 19. 

This is a unique opportunity to become a leader within the Cabot Learning Federation. We are looking for an outstanding practitioner with experience in driving improvements in teaching and learning. In addition to leading the Mathematics & Computing Team, there will be an opportunity for an extended leadership role with a whole school focus.

Duties will include:

• Teaching mathematics across the academy which will include KS3 and KS4
• Managing learners’ behaviour by establishing and maintaining a clear framework for discipline in line with the school’s Behaviour for Learning policy
• Undertaking pastoral responsibilities and duties as required
• Being accountable for the progress of students within classes taught against agreed targets

To be successful, you will have qualified teacher status and a degree preferably in maths or a related subject.

The CLF will provide you with the opportunity to participate in both Academy and pan-federation professional development.
