Teacher of Mathematics - Fixed-Term, Part-Time (19 Hours Per Fortnight), MPS/UPS

We would like to welcome you to the Mathematics Department. Our main aim is to provide the best possible Mathematics education for all students, by providing quality where it counts: in the classroom. We recognise our obligation to make Mathematics relevant to the needs and interests of the students, and we constantly strive to provide an invigorating experience for all students.

The Mathematics Department consists of a strong team of fourteen specialist teachers who are enthusiastic about Mathematics and work together to share their love of the subject with the students. 

Staff work closely with the Head of Mathematics, ensuring that the department continues to develop and deliver the very best for our students. The department is constantly seeking ways to improve and to make sure that our students have the best opportunities for success to allow them to take the next step with confidence.

We have our own schemes of work for KS3 that have been developed in line with the National Curriculum and Numeracy strategies. The majority of KS4 students follow the EDEXCEL Higher Tier Mathematics specification. As building confidence and encouraging outstanding achievement is at the heart of our department, there is no early entry and all students sit their GCSE examinations at the end of Year 11. At KS5 the students follow the EDEXCEL A level syllabus. The department also offers Further Mathematics at A-Level where there is an excellent uptake in both subjects. A number of students go on to a variety of Higher Education courses involving further study of Engineering and other Mathematics related subjects.

Application Closing Date: Wednesday 4 December 2024, 9AM

Shortlist Interview Date: Monday 9 December 2024

Early applications are advised as the School reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process. 

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. As this role involves 'regulated activity' with children the successful applicant will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure application. Employment will be conditional upon the College being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS check and the outcome of all other checks. 

The School will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List on the successful applicant. Applicants should be aware that it is unlawful for the School to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so. 

This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
