We seek an experienced full time Maths teacher who is passionate about the subject and has high expectations of all students and staff, to take on the exciting role of Assistant Head of the STEM Faculty and lead Maths teaching in our school. The role would suit someone looking for their first experience of school leadership as you would be ably supported by our Head of STEM and the wider faculty.
The Assistant Head of STEM is the lead teacher of Maths.

Our STEM faculty are an ambitious, forward looking and positive team who aim to provide the best STEM education for all of our students and to create the scientists and mathematicians of the future. We have had significant improvement in outcomes for students in both Science and Maths in recent years and are looking to build upon this success. As we are an all-through school the role also provides the opportunity to work closely with our Primary Maths Lead to deliver excellent progression in Mathematics and numeracy across the phases.
The successful candidate will teach Maths at KS3 and to GCSE. At KS3 we use the Mathematics Mastery curriculum, while we offer Pearson Edexcel specifications at GCSE.
