About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a forward-thinking school that has a strong reputation for inclusion, pastoral support, and staff development.

The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of its diverse community. Estyn’s latest report praised the school’s effective classroom teaching, positive relationships between staff and learners, and its ongoing focus on improving numeracy skills across all subjects. The maths department plays a key role in this school-wide drive to embed strong number fluency and problem-solving.

• Embed numeracy development into lessons, helping students build confidence and transferable skills

• Collaborate with colleagues to share resources and best practice within the department

• Contribute to curriculum planning, assessment, and extra-curricular learning opportunities

• Promote high standards of behaviour, enthusiasm for learning, and mutual respect in every lesson

About You

You’ll be:
✔️ A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with a background in Mathematics
✔️ Confident teaching across KS3–4 (KS5 desirable but not essential)
✔️ Passionate about improving pupil outcomes and developing numeracy skills
✔️ Organised, reflective, and proactive in supporting whole-school improvement
✔️ A strong communicator who thrives in collaborative team environments
