Mathematics is a strength at our school. It is a popular subject where students meet challenging targets and a large number continue their studies to A Level and beyond. We are looking for a reflective and enthusiastic Teacher of Mathematics to help build on this. You will be joining a vibrant team in this successful and high performing school. There will be excellent day to day support as well as the opportunity to develop within a strong team.
We offer you:
A dynamic and motivated mathematics department that enjoy working together, developing the curriculum and supporting students.
The opportunity to teach to GCSE and A Level.
The chance to reflect on and develop your practice alongside other committed practitioners.
Excellent resources in a purpose-built suite of classrooms where every student and staff member has their own chromebook.
We will offer you the chance to be part of a strong and developing school community working in a supporting environment. We are renowned for placing a high value on staff wellbeing and professional development at all levels.
Situated just east of Oxford in a unique parkland site, Wheatley Park School is a flourishing 11- 18 academy with a vibrant comprehensive intake.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff.
