What makes Ridgewood School special?

At Ridgewood School we are extremely proud of our school and the high quality of education that we provide, including our popular and highly successful Sixth Form. Our school motto, ‘Prepare for the road ahead,’ represents our belief in preparing our students for their future, not only in terms of academic achievement, but also in terms of the training, enrichment and experiences which will enable them to become model citizens and responsible members of the community. Our school values: Respect-Responsibility-Resilience, underpin what we do every day and contribute to our ethos in everything we undertake as a school community. Having achieved an Ofsted ‘Good’ rating in all categories in our most recent Ofsted (December 2022), we are committed to this trajectory of success for our students as we aspire to move from ‘Good to Great.’ As part of this journey, in July 2023, we joined Leger Education Trust and look forward to collaborating with other schools within the trust to develop both our students and staff and be the very best that we can be.

We are looking to appoint a talented and enthusiastic Teacher of Maths. Our Maths department believes in motivating students through their own success, which has resulted in strong student outcomes in recent years. We use our department time to focus on Maths and develop subject specific pedagogy as a team. Maths and Further Maths are popular subjects at Post 16, therefore the opportunity to teach in this area would be possible for the right candidate.

The successful candidate will:

be a highly effective practitioner in their own classroom

be passionate about whole school and subject specific pedagogy

have a commitment to enriching students’ lives

be committed to continuing professional development

We offer:

an exceptional Behaviour for Learning policy that supports staff and students

a genuine commitment to manageable workload and staff wellbeing

access to high quality and bespoke CPD for all levels of experience and roles

a supportive and visible Senior Leadership Team

an excellent and supportive, in-house ECT induction

an innovative, research-led appraisal system

no formal graded lesson observations: instead, we operate a low-stakes, supportive, on-going coaching programme with a focus on continuous improvement

Why is the role of Teacher of Maths right for you?

We are committed to offering the staff who work at Ridgewood every opportunity to become the best they can be. Our training packages, for staff at all stages of their careers, are second to none. As well as our whole school and departmental training, we also offer a personalised coaching programme, NPQs and bespoke CPD, relevant to the person’s role. In 2023, we received the Teacher Development Trust Silver Award, demonstrating our commitment and passion to providing excellent CPD for all teaching and associate staff.

If you are seeking a dynamic, innovative and caring school, dedicated to the development of staff and our students’ success, Ridgewood is the school for you.

We strongly encourage visits from potential candidates - please contact the school to arrange this.
