Are you an enthusiastic and determined teacher of maths with a passion for their subject? Are you excited about the opportunity to work with our committed and enthusiastic Key Stage 3 students within the maths curriculum? Do you have the dedication, commitment, and openness to strategies to raise attainment at Key Stage 4 and 5? Do you love maths and get excited to talk about numbers and pedagogy? Then Ashby School is the place for you!
We are seeking to appoint an experienced, enthusiastic and determined teacher of maths to add pedagogic capacity to our faulty leadership team. We want someone with a passion for their subject, who can model greatness in our classrooms and, from this strong foundation, is confident to inspire others and lead both mathematical and pedagogical improvements collaboratively and independently as part of the school’s extended leadership team.
Maths is the key to understanding the logic of the world in which we live in and a popular subject at Ashby School with large numbers of students choosing the subject at A-level. We believe that every student is capable of being successful at mathematics and that prior attainment is not a barrier to this. We want students to become confident mathematicians who can apply the logic of mathematics to the world that we live in. Taught by our expert staff, students gain fluency in mathematical methods, develop conceptual understanding, explore the connections between different areas of mathematics and learn to apply problem-solving strategies.
Our lead practitioners work with a dedicated timetable allowance as part of our Teaching and Learning team lead by our Assistant Headteacher for Teaching and Learning. This work involves supporting teachers across our school to share and raise our students’ learning experience both within and beyond their faculty area. They also actively contribute to our Continuing Professional Development and our on-going engagement in training the professionals of the future through mentoring ECTs and supporting the work of Teach for LiFE the LiFE Mat teacher training provision based at Ashby School.
Following on from the AQA course at GCSE, Maths is a popular and highly successful subject at Key Stage 5 where we offer Maths A level as a standalone course, in conjunction with Further Maths for those students who excel at GCSE level, and also a successfully embedded and highly popular Core Maths course.
The successful candidate would join a large, supportive faculty who enjoy talking about mathematics pedagogy and working from and developing shared resources. This approach has been instrumental in developing our Key Stage 3 pedagogy as we embrace age-range change. Maths is taught in a suite of subject specific rooms all equipped with interactive projectors and visualisers to promote modelling in our lessons.
Our Mathematics faculty also encompasses delivery of Computer Science and we are interested in teachers who can add teaching capacity to this area.
