Teacher of Maths job summary

The Northworthy Trust are inviting applications for the post of Teacher of Maths based at The Long Eaton School. The successful applicant will be professional, adaptable and dedicated to delivering high quality teaching with broad experience of working across a busy Maths department. They will have strong communication skills and will be able to work well within a team, yet be able to demonstrate an ability to utilise their own initiative. They will be motivated and resilient and be able to demonstrate the skills required to engage students in their learning. The post holder will play an integral part in the contribution made by the Maths Department to whole school Learning and Teaching and will be involved in developing various programmes and projects to raise the profile and status of Maths throughout the school.

The Mathematics Department has a complement of ten specialist Mathematics teachers.

All years are taught in one of nine specialist rooms. All rooms are equipped with projectors, with some interactive whiteboards.

Teachers have access to one of three sets of classroom laptop computers, based within Maths rooms, or to a range of fully equipped ICT rooms, available for use via the school’s booking system.

The department has developed schemes of work embracing the Numeracy Strategy, whilst ensuring that all students receive a variety of teaching styles. The Mymaths books and online resources largely provides support materials through Key Stage 3. Key Stage 4 uses AQA linked materials, alongside packages such Mathswatch.

At present, students in Year 7 have 8 x 60 minute lessons and Year 8 to 11 have 7 x 60 minutes lessons of Mathematics every fortnight.

Key Stage 3
From Year 7, students are set in half-year blocks according to their Key Stage 2 result and Junior School recommendations. Termly and yearly reviews take place and some students are moved groups on a half year block. The majority of Year 7 and 8 students will experience a variety of lessons, including project work in each term, designed to enhance achievement by improving thinking skills. The pupils are set targets based on their KS2 results and follow appropriate levels of work throughout KS3. The key stage is split into 2 years, with 10 topics covered in each year, without repetition, so that pupils can master each of the topics.

Key Stage 4
GCSE Mathematics is split into groups following Foundation tier and Higher tier. The students are selected for each tier based upon their previous attainment, and progress. The groups are split into half-year blocks. The GCSE is taught over three years, to enable the students to develop their skills to read information and interpret how to apply their knowledge to problem type questions. This will be practiced throughout the course, along with regular assessments after sections of work and at the end of term.
For some students it may be more appropriate for them to develop at a slower pace, and they study the Entry Level maths in year 9, before moving onto the full GCSE in year 10.

Key Stage 5
Mathematics is a popular subject at 16+. At present students follow the AQA A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics at the school, with groups of A Level Maths and 2 groups for Further Maths.
Core Maths is currently being prepared to be taught at 16+ in the coming academic year.

Other Information
Throughout the school Special Needs provision is available to identified students and generally takes the form of in-class support.

Homework is an integral part of the Mathematics syllabus in all years. The length of homework depends on the year and ability group a student is in.

At various times during the academic year, high achieving students are entered for various National Mathematics competitions either individually or as a team. Over the years, a high level of success has been achieved.

This is an excellent opportunity for an NQT or more experienced teacher to join this innovative and growing Trust. NQTs benefit from a full programme of NQT support throughout their Induction Year and all staff enjoy the benefits of CPD. The post holder will enjoy working in a caring and supportive environment at The Long Eaton School.
