Join our Mathematics Team
Our mathematics department is an exceptional place for both new and experienced teachers to develop their careers and achieve their goals.
The department is very well resourced with practical, digital and printed resources to allow you to create engaging and dynamic lessons that encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
We are keen to appoint somebody who is passionate about mathematics and its place in our world and who will contribute to our underlying philosophy of making mathematics a meaningful tool which students can be confident in using outside the mathematics classroom.
We want students to be able to make decisions about how to solve problems, drawing on existing skills and seeking help to develop new skills as necessary. We want them to be confident in interpreting solutions and make sensible decisions about how to communicate their findings.
You will contribute to the provision of a broad, coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of study, encouraging students to develop confidence in, and a positive attitude towards mathematics and to recognise the importance of mathematics in their own lives and in wider society, with a willingness to use the skills they learn within their vocational courses.
You will have many opportunities to make mathematics meaningful, drawing on students’ life experiences and their experiences from their vocational courses.
You will be a part of a small team of professionals who work closely together to achieve our goals. We believe in supporting one another, sharing ideas and resources, and working together to create a positive and productive learning environment for our students.
We are committed to delivering high-quality continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for all of our teachers. We believe that learning is a lifelong process, and we are dedicated to providing our teachers with access to the latest research, best practices, and professional development opportunities. As a member of our team, you will have access to a range of CPD opportunities, both within our school and as part of our Trust-wide offer, giving you the tools you need to continue to develop your skills and knowledge.
As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to be part of a culture of excellence, where we are always striving to improve our practice and achieve the best possible outcomes for our students.
