CORE PURPOSE

We require an ambitious, intellectually rigorous Mathematics Teacher to deliver high-quality numerical, algebraic, and statistical instruction across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. The role involves delivering a challenging, concepts-first curriculum that builds mathematical fluency, logical reasoning, and confident problem-solving capabilities in all pupil cohorts.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

• Curriculum Design & Instruction: Plan, resource, and execute highly structured, evidence-based mathematics lessons that challenge pupils across all academic profiles and learning requirements.

• Examination Preparation: Guide Key Stage 4 classes systematically through the demands of terminal GCSE mathematics specifications, implementing retrieval practices and exam-board strategies to maximise progress outcomes.

• Progress Diagnostics: Run regular formative and summative assessment routines, utilising pupil tracking data to diagnose learning misconceptions and design sharp, targeted intervention sessions.

• Numeracy Drive: Assist the broader department in implementing cross-curricular numeracy strategies, fostering mathematical confidence and mathematical application across all subjects.
