What skills and experience we're looking for
To add capacity across the school, we would love to hear from talented mathematics teachers of all levels (ECTs welcome to apply). The aim of the Mathematics department is to develop its students into problem solvers and reasoners, who can argue a point with mathematical evidence to support their case. The department aims for all learners to develop a ‘can do’ attitude as well as a love of learning for mathematics. The department plan inspiring, motivating and ambitious lessons to engage all learners whilst recognising that each learner needs differing levels of support and challenge in order to unlock their unique potential. Students are enlightened to the purpose of their learning through a ‘bigger picture’, real life examples and STEM questioning.
Although this role is primarily for a teacher of mathematics, we are open to applications from teachers of mathematics who are interested in teaching a second subject alongside this core responsibility; teachers of other subjects who would like to change direction and teach mathematics; and teachers who are looking for part-time work in a school where wellbeing and work-life balance are valued.
While this job is not subject to a TLR there are opportunities within school every year for teaching colleagues to take on additional responsibilities and projects with TLRs attached. There is a range of opportunities for personal growth and promotion at Todmorden High School.
