In our school every student counts. This is a role where you really can shape futures.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of Maths who is an excellent classroom practitioner, deeply committed to improving student outcomes and passionate about teaching and learning.

What makes us special

Our staff team believe passionately in the power of education to transform lives. We are committed to providing the best possible educational experience that we can; an experience that supports, challenges and inspires our students to achieve their potential and develop into well rounded, kind, resilient and responsible young people, who have a deep love of learning and a curiosity about the world in which they live.

Maths at Newton Abbot College

Our aim is to help students enjoy and master Mathematics. We make sure that lessons include clear explanations as well as opportunities for collaboration, discussion and practice. We also look for ways to help students to build links between topics and learn how Mathematics is applied in other fields of study. Across our team, we work hard, often before and after college to help our older students achieve exam results that they can be proud of and can use to further their future careers.

Our department

We have ten members of the department who are all dedicated Mathematics teachers. All of the department teach across the ability and age range in Key Stages 3 and 4 with half teaching at KS5. The college has a well-structured programme of staff development for all staff which includes regular subject CPD sessions. At our regular meetings we discuss student progress, share good practice and ideas, discuss matters arising from lesson observations and celebrate student success. We all contribute to department meetings and take on responsibilities that contribute to curriculum and staff development.

Resources and teaching rooms

We have nine teaching rooms that are all fitted with digital projectors and visualisers. We became a Sparx teaching school in 2020 and are constantly evolving the best ways to incorporate this resource into our lessons. We have a wide range of virtual and real resources and are always on the lookout for new ways to help our students to improve their understanding and enjoyment of Mathematics.

Our curriculum

Key Stage 3: Students have seven periods of Mathematics in the two-week timetable. The scheme of work is constantly evolving with the main aim of raising engagement and enjoyment amongst all students. This creates a fantastic opportunity for the successful candidate to make a mark by contributing to the development of schemes that will instil a passion for Mathematics and an understanding of how to apply the skills that they learn in the classroom.

Key Stage 4: Students have eight periods of Mathematics on a two-week timetable. We follow the Edexcel GCSE syllabus. We offer Further Maths as a twilight class to our able and passionate mathematicians in year 10 with the opportunity to sit the GCSE in year 11.
