We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher who wants to join an excellent department. This post offers real opportunities for professional and career development.

Park High is an 11-18 mixed multi-ethnic comprehensive school of almost 1600 students, situated in the London Borough of Harrow. There are very high achievement levels and excellent facilities. Ofsted (2013) judged the school outstanding in all areas.

We can offer:

· An award winning vibrant school which continues to achieve extremely high standards, both in Harrow and beyond.

· A genuine and active pursuit of well-being for all members of our community.

· Students who exhibit excellent behaviour for learning and a desire to acquire knowledge and improve themselves.

· A supportive, enthusiastic and inspiring team providing the opportunity to grow and develop.

· An opportunity to develop your craft of teaching across three Key Stages.

2. Curriculum, staffing and resources

The successful candidate will be part of a strong team of 13 staff, all of whom are qualified mathematicians.

Mathematics is taught in seven purpose built rooms, each incorporating an interactive whiteboard and data projector. In addition to the head of department and second in department there are post holders whose responsibility is raising achievement leaders in Key Stages.

In Years 7, 8 and 9 students are taught in mixed ability groups. In Years 10 and 11 students are taught in parallel groups apart from two higher sets in each half-year band. At Key Stage 4 students follow the Edexcel Linear course and results are outstanding.

At Key Stage 5, 70% of all Year 12 and 13 students study A level mathematics and follow the Edexcel A level course. The school is in the top twenty percent of schools nationally for the number of female students who choose to study A Level mathematics.

Park High School recognises that its staff are our greatest resource and so we invest time and effort into everyone’s professional development. We offer an extensive programme of professional development, which offers a whole range of opportunities for colleagues to develop their potential within and beyond Park High School. Professional development underpins all our work.

Staff development is widely regarded as “leading edge”: we have strong partnerships with universities and other higher education institutions and we actively support our staff in pursuing Masters and other higher qualifications.

“Park High School has an incredibly strong developmental culture, with a real focus on investing in staff to better student outcomes. It is highly valued by staff and brilliantly led, with positive support from the Headteacher and senior leadership who are also quick to advocate its importance within school.” TDT Audit 2018

We are committed to the delivery of Personal Social Health Citizenship & Economic education (PSHCEe) which all teachers as tutors are expected to teach.
