The successful candidate will be a key part of the team, who will have responsibility for the coordination of curriculum development of a Key Stage, building on the strengths of the department to develop new and exciting initiatives. You will teach Maths, and A Level Maths to highly motivated and talented students from Years 7 to 13, planning and preparing courses and lessons according to their educational needs and providing guidance and advice on their further education and future careers. You will be joining a Maths department consisting of the Director of Maths, 3 Assistant Heads, and 8 teachers.
The Maths department occupies a central place in the academic life of the school, with the teaching of Maths grounded in supporting students to acquire a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, which they can then apply in a range of situations. The curriculum is carefully planned to support and extend the acquisition of knowledge and understanding.
A balanced Maths programme, incorporating most of the features of the National Curriculum, is taught to students in Years 7, 8 & 9. Each class has 1 or 2 Maths teachers.
