Teacher of Maths

Message from Headteacher

Dear potential applicant,

I can say, unequivocally, that I am proud to be a member of the St Andrew's community, and that it is an honour to be the Headteacher of a school filled with so

much love.

With significant investments continually being made across the school, we continue to seek opportunities for real innovation and change.

St Andrew's is a school that has love at its core. You see it in the relationships between staff and students; both in the classrooms and the corridors; and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. I have heard many describe being part of

our school community as being like 'family'; both giving and receiving unrelenting love.

Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development. We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all members of our community, and accept nothing less than an individual's best.

Our curriculum is broad and balanced, with all students undertaking 10 GCSEs. Maths is a strength of the school; outcomes are strong and students regularly comment on their love of the subject. We are seeking to appoint an excellent practitioner to join our Maths team as a key team member retires. There is significant opportunity to grow professionally at St Andrew's, and to play a large role in supporting the school to continue on its journey of growth- therefore we are looking for an individual who is keen to learn and develop with us.

For the right candidate, we are seeking an individual to drive forward whole school numeracy; numeracy is the foundation of mathematical thinking, and key to the success in many subjects, alongside aspects of every day life.

We recognise that we are all unique, with unique training and developmental needs – and we aim to give every staff member the best CPD to enable them to reach their career goals, no matter what that goal may be. This includes, but is not limited to, degree level apprenticeships in Youth Work.

The successful candidate will have: aspirational vision that will inspire our young people and staff to be the best that they can be; a positive and solution focused approach, applying a 'can do' attitude to any potential challenges; and a desire to change the lives of young people for the better.

It truly is an exciting time to join St Andrew's. Whilst considerable growth and progress has been made in recent years, there is still so much impact to be made as the school goes from strength to strength.

I would be delighted to show you around the school and/or offer a chance to meet the team.

To arrange a tour, or a Teams meeting, please contact my PA, Mrs Dalmon, via - or via telephone: extension 240.

Finally, thank you for showing a provisional interest in joining our school. I hope you find this pack informative, and that it enables you to begin the process of applying to be a member of our community.
