Teacher of Mathematics

We are looking for a teacher of mathematics to work within our supportive maths faculty. You will demonstrate our school values of resilience, integrity and community, help us to provide the education our wonderful young people deserve.

In return we will ensure that behaviour is excellent, that you have access to high quality CPD, and that you are given the tools to teach effectively.

Paget High School is situated in the Branston area of Burton upon Trent, with easy links to the A38. Our well maintained and equipped buildings are set in beautiful grounds that include an orchard and a working farm.

We serve a diverse community of approximately 700 students in Years 7-13.

Judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2023, the governors and leadership team are determined that our students receive the best possible education.

Behaviour is excellent. Students are explicitly taught to be resilient, behave with integrity, and contribute to our community. Our behaviour policy is straightforward, with clear boundaries and effective sanctions; staff are empowered, and backed up by senior leaders.

We provide our staff with excellent ongoing professional development and are careful to consider wellbeing in our decision making. All teachers have an hour of timetabled CPD a fortnight, meeting in small groups to discuss pedagogy.

You can expect excellent line management, coaching and mentoring, and a close and effective working relationship with your Head of Department.

You are welcome to have an informal conversation with a member of the team prior to applying, although this is not a requirement.

Contact office@paget.staffs.sch.uk if you would like to arrange a visit.
