We are pleased to advertise an exciting opportunity to work in a unique and vibrant performing arts academy with students who are truly delightful to work with. Specialising in Creative, Digital, and Performing Arts, students must earn a place on their chosen arts pathway through an aptitude process which means they value their place at the academy. As a result, behaviour is exemplary.  

We are rightly proud of our recent Ofsted report (May 2023) which gives a true picture of what life in the academy is like. I highly recommend that you read the report before applying and that you book a tour with the academy Vice Principal to get a feel for our ethos, to see our fantastic building, and to gain an impression of the learning environment. Our report can be found here: ()

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, optimistic, and talented practitioner to join our successful Mathematics team. Department results are excellent with at least 80% of students achieving grade 4 and above each year. The department is experienced and supportive of teachers and students alike. We are ambitious for our students and work collaboratively to ensure a research-driven approach to teaching Mathematics in every classroom. The Mathematics Department benefits from a dedicated teaching area and spacious work space.

Students are entered for Edexcel GCSE Mathematics, with around two-thirds of Year 11 students taking the Higher tier exam. In addition, there are strong A' Level groups in Year 12 and 13. Schemes of learning for both courses are completely bespoke and fully resourced with our own high-quality lessons and formative assessments, taking full account of teacher workload.

The Academy is looking for someone who has:

• Qualified teacher status and a degree.
• A strong track record as an exceptional Teacher of Mathematics or the ability to demonstrate you are developing excellent practice if an ECT.
• A belief in the importance of Mathematics in society, and the ability to communicate this to students at all levels of attainment.
• An in-depth knowledge of relevant examination content and the ways in which it is commonly assessed.
• A thoughtful approach and the ability to reflect on the effectiveness of teaching and make impactful improvements.
• The ability to inspire high achievement in young people from all backgrounds.
• The ability to work closely with others as part of a small team.
• Reliability and strong personal organisation and time-management skills.
• The ability to communicate effectively, verbally and in writing.
• The ability to guide students’ academic, personal, and professional development as a form tutor.
• Flexibility and the ability to adapt positively in the face of change.
• An excellent record of attendance and punctuality.

This role is suitable for an ECT or more experienced teacher, as we can offer the experience and support to help you develop and further your career. This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to the future of education within a world-class academy. If you share the academy’s vision and ambitions, possess a strong desire to work within an ethos of creative collaboration and partnership and want to have a positive impact on young people, families and the community then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please contact [email protected] if you require any further details or would like to book a tour of the Academy ahead of the closing date.
