The Department
As a Maths teacher, you will be joining an experienced team with a possibility of leading our own area within the faculty depending on your interest. The mathematics department is made up of five passionate teachers, including one Edexcel examiner (with more in the process of becoming examiners) plus an equally passionate maths HLTA. Improving ourselves as teachers is paramount to the team through weekly PD sessions, subject knowledge enhancements, online courses, and exam conferences.
Resources
In each classroom, there is a visualiser which the maths team uses during the input part of every lesson. Each student has their own mini whiteboard enabling teachers to assess their class with ease.
We use Sparx with our Y7 through to Y11. Students have weekly homework tasks set on these platforms, centered around retrieval practice.
The team works on and embeds the latest mathematical pedagogy into our continually developing shared lesson bank. Each lesson has been designed with a retrieval segment to start the lesson, the main body of the lesson focuses on I Do, We Do, You Do, with students completing at least 20 minutes of silent independent work to master their learning.
Curriculum
Students are examined through Edexcel, and our Schemes of Learning allow for a seamless transition between KS3 and KS4, with topics mapped out from one year to the next. Assessments are completed during the school assessment windows, with time built into the schemes of learning for students to work on their individual gaps of knowledge. All Year 11s attend a weekly period 6; this time is used for exam practice and to support students with essential exam topics.
The duties and responsibilities in this job description are not restrictive, and the post holder may be required to undertake any other duties that may be required from time to time. Any such duties should not, however, substantially change the general character of the post.
