Due to the successful promotion of the existing Director of Maths, The Brian Clarke CE Academy is looking to appoint an experienced, strategic, and creative leader and manager to work with the Headteacher and founding team of staff to support the leadership of our new 11-16 Church of England comprehensive school.
As Director of Maths you would be leading a highly motivated team of teachers including a Second in Department. Our Maths curriculum has been designed to ensure depth of understanding for all students and our team work collaboratively with a focus onthe latest pedagogical ideas and methods.
The Director of Maths at a new school is an opportunity that education professionals dream about, leading a talented and committed staff that is growing a school from Year 7 up; supporting the development of its ethos and embedding that in the community of the school and having the benefit of a brand-new building with all new facilities and supported by a local, successful and experienced Trust.

- Someone who will inspire pupils and the staff they work with and build strong relationships with our parents, carers and community partners.
We are recruiting to add to our founding group of exceptional staff in order to achieve our vision and work together to create a genuinely outstanding school. As Director of Maths you will shape the totality of the Brian Clarke experience for our young people as they move into KS4.
