Director of Secondary Mathematics job summary

The Director of Secondary Mathematics will drive improvement in the quality of mathematics education across the Trust, with a particular focus on improving outcomes at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.

This role is designed for an outstanding practitioner; we are looking for someone who can demonstrate impact in the classroom. You may be a main scale classroom teacher or have a TLR in Maths. Perhaps you are a senior leader. Background is less important than impact. In particular, can you demonstrate the ability to develop teachers and work effectively with senior leaders at both trust and school level. Can you lead improvement in curriculum, teaching and assessment in Maths and, crucially, student outcomes?
