At our vibrant 3-16 school, our mathematics team has a solid foundation, with a history of results that have been among the strongest in the school. While the outcomes in 2024 were not where we wanted them to be, progress in mathematics has historically been in the average category in secondary and above average in primary.

Mathematics is a key focus in our journey of school transformation. As part of this, we are committed to empowering our pupils to achieve good passes, enabling them to access many more courses and opportunities when they leave us. Naturally, every school wants to achieve this, but we are truly committed to putting in the resources to make this a reality. You won’t need to start from scratch, the curriculum is robust, and you have leadership capacity within the team as well as strong support from SLT. We like maths too

**We are seeking a passionate leader who**:

- Loves mathematics and inspires that same love in students and staff alike.
- Has a proven track record of achieving results, particularly in raising attainment at the critical Grade 3/4 borderline and in preparing students for A-Level Mathematics.
- Demonstrates a strong moral purpose, recognising the potential to make a life-changing impact on our pupils.

**YOUR MAIN DUTIES WOULD BE**:

- To provide professional leadership and management to the mathematics department.
- To raise standards across all groups of learners, contributing to the highest outcomes for all.
- To support the delivery of the whole school numeracy strategy.

**IN RETURN, WE OFFER**:

- Outstanding professional development and a commitment to your career progression.
- A supportive and collegial staff body, renowned for its camaraderie and collaborative spirit.
- Pupils who will challenge, inspire and remind you why you became a teacher and a leader.
- A paid premium to a Healthcare Cash Plan to claim back contributions towards dental, optical and other medical costs.
- 24/7 access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
- Fantastic facilities.

This is your opportunity to be a cornerstone of our school’s improvement journey, to inspire excellence, and to ensure that mathematics opens doors for every child.
