Teacher of Maths

Do you want to work at an ambitious school with bright, well behaved and engaged learners? Are you interested in helping students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and talented teacher to play a key role in shaping the curriculum of our outstanding, multi-faith school. This role would suit a teacher looking to make their first steps into leadership.

Nishkam School West London is a flagship school for our Trust, offering all-through provision on an expansive 11-acre green site. Our students are bright, diligent and well mannered. The school achieved an Attainment 8 score 59.8 and a Progress 8 score of 0.93 in the 2022/23 academic year. Opportunities like these are few and far between and will interest those with creative minds and high aspirations, seeking to inspire a new generation of children through a virtues-led, multi-faith curriculum. The journey will be one of leading your classes to excellence as the school grows to capacity, which will be immensely rewarding for the right individual.

As a teacher at Nishkam School West London, you will work in a pioneering group, Nishkam School Trust (NST). NST is one of the first multi-academy free school trusts in the UK. The Trust has opened two free schools in Birmingham (a primary in 2011 and a secondary in 2012), both of which are judged Ofsted Outstanding, and a third, a primary free school in Wolverhampton. The Trust continues to expand and has recently welcomed another primary school in Derby into the Nishkam family. We are looking for a highly committed and innovative leader to work in close collaboration with other teachers in both the secondary and primary phases across the Trust.

NST has developed an inclusive, virtues-led, multi-faith educational approach that nurtures pupils of all faiths and those of no particular faith. The Nishkam ethos is to help grow a selfless mindset, aspiring to excellence as well as going beyond ourselves to serve others, to create supportive communities and to realise our true potential. This pervades every aspect of the school.

The Role

The role will commence in Autumn Term 2024. You will:

• have the rare opportunity to work collaboratively with primary colleagues and play a key role in developing the secondary phase science curriculum
• have a strong voice in shaping the everyday practice of the school as we develop and embed our ethos and routines, especially in learning and teaching
• have the opportunity to share your expertise with other subject teachers across the Trust
• be part of a global community of charitable initiatives.

  
  

  This is an exceptional opportunity to work within a vibrant atmosphere and a supportive setting. Our school is a welcoming space for students of faith and non-faith. This is also true of our staff body.
