What skills and experience we're looking for

Mathematics is a highly valued and popular subject at the School. We are fortunate to work with a team of experienced and hard working specialists led by a very supportive Head of Department. As second in charge of our Mathematics team you will work in partnership with the Head of Department to ensure that standards across the subject remain high. The specific nature of the role will be discussed at appointment but would typically include leading a key stage, making a significant contribution to quality assurance, and ensuring that strong pedagogy within the department remains a key focus.

The team have enjoyed strong academic success over a prolonged period of time. At GCSE in 2024 students achieved an overall progress score of +0.42, whilst at post 16, 76% of A Level Mathematics grades were A*-B and for Further Mathematics, this was 93%.

Teachers at the school enjoy working and interacting with our students. They are mature, highly motivated and inquisitive making teaching a stimulating and rewarding experience. Many students continue to study Mathematics at A Level where we will typically have up to eight groups across our A Level course. Further Mathematics is offered at both GCSE and A Level and is also a popular option. The Mathematics Department is located in its own suite of modern classrooms and a staff workroom. All classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and computers. We have invested in various software packages available including subscriptions to ‘Mathswatch’, Dr Frost, GoTeach Maths and MathsBox. At GCSE we follow the 9-1 Edexcel course and we also follow Edexcel at Key Stage 5 for Advanced Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Further details regarding our curriculum can be found on our website.

Outside of the classroom, the team provide a wide range of support and opportunities for students including the UKMT Maths Challenge. The team are reflective in their practice and there is a strong culture of nurture and support for new colleagues. The embedded use of IT within the curriculum, especially the use of Interactive Whiteboards, has helped students in their learning. The team are always looking to develop their pedagogy, especially in how challenging concepts are modelled and explained and how learners understanding is checked and reviewed.

What the school offers its staff

The King’s (The Cathedral) School is a very special place to work educating children from seven years old through to eighteen. The School has an incredibly strong reputation in the area and is one of a very small number of state Schools that has retained close links to the Cathedral dating all the way back to 1541. The School is heavily oversubscribed, staff retention is very high, and staff will typically choose to send their own children to the school for their education. The School places a real emphasis on students achieving well academically alongside participating in a wide range of sporting, musical and leadership opportunities. In July 2024, the School was judged as Outstanding in every category.

Commitment to safeguarding

The King’s (The Cathedral) School fully recognises the responsibility it has under section 175 of the Education
Act 2002 (as amended), the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (as amended) and Education
and Training (Welfare of Children) Act, 2021 to have arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the
welfare of children.
