We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and mathematically skilled teacher to join our KS2 team. This post is suitable for teachers with experience of teaching maths in key stage two or maths specialist colleagues who may want to transition from KS3 into KS2 (training to support curriculum teaching will be provided).

We invest in and support career development and grow and develop staff at all levels. This has been further enhanced this year through our soft federation with Hedworthfield Primary School.

You will plan, deliver and assess pupils learning in maths for years five and six alongside a year group partner who will deliver the literacy curriculum. You will also plan and teach the curriculum subjects following a creative curriculum approach (training will be provided).
The core purpose of this role is to ensure children have a high quality education which fully prepares them for the challenges faced at the end of KS2 and their transition into the next phase of their education.
