What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a 2nd in Maths with personality, someone who wants to own their classroom and have vibrant and authentic relationships with their students and colleagues. We want teachers who are conscientious, enjoy working with children and love to see students succeed. Do you want the chance to develop a Maths curriculum that has real intent and changes students’ lives and knowledge of the world? Do you want to work in a research-informed school that has the vision to support students through creating conditions in the classroom that make learning more effective? You will get the chance to really think about what makes for great teaching. You will work hard, but you will also become a better teacher and change children's lives. The Maths department is open-minded and driven, and always looking for ways to improve. At Farnham Heath End School, staff work together in departments to create shared resources, through our weekly subject development CPD sessions.

What the school offers its staff

This is an excellent opportunity to join Farnham Heath End School. Our focus has been to engage teachers with their own professional development, through focusing on how research can be applied to in the classroom. There has been a focus on retrieval practice, supporting students’ working memory and providing students with clear opportunities for deliberate practice. For learning to be most effective, the strategy has also been on creating high expectations and embedded routines that avoid distraction, so that the subject content is the main attraction. Another example of using research across the school, is that each department has their own feedback and assessment policy, whereby written comments, and a specific frequency of feedback is not mandatory, and a focus on live feedback using a visualiser is a preference.

We will offer a range of CPD opportunities to support the successful applicant and we would welcome applications from ambitious individuals who share our vision and wish to contribute to transforming community education in Farnham. Our staff are committed to sharing good practice and collaborative working, with opportunities for creativity within the curriculum encouraged. Farnham Heath End School has excellent facilities and is rapidly improving so that it becomes an outstanding provider of high-quality local education.
