Job Description:

This is an exciting time to join our Maths team. Over the past two years, the department has undergone significant improvement, with stronger teaching practice and improved student outcomes. We are now looking for an exceptional Head of Maths to build on this momentum and lead the department into its next phase.

This is a pivotal role within the school. We are seeking a leader who combines clarity with compassion—someone who understands the realities of a non-selective context and is relentless in securing excellence for every learner. You will develop a confident, consistent team, where great teaching is the norm and professional learning is purposeful, sharp and sustained.

You will invest in people—coaching, developing and growing future leaders—ensuring that improvement is embedded in the culture and not dependent on one individual.

Above all, you will be an outstanding classroom practitioner with a proven track record of strong outcomes. You will model exceptional teaching, use evidence-informed approaches to remove barriers and close gaps, and ensure that every student can succeed in Maths.

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic person who:

  • An experienced and impactful middle or senior leader with a strong track record in Maths
  • An outstanding classroom practitioner with consistently strong student outcomes
  • A leader who can inspire, support and hold staff to high expectations
  • A deep commitment to reading, literacy and curriculum excellence
  • A strong focus on consistency, culture and high-quality teaching
  • Someone who believes passionately in the potential of every student
  • Has a friendly manner and can communicate effectively with staff and pupils

In return, we offer you:

  • an incredibly supportive group of colleagues and leaders
  • comprehensive induction programme with a commitment to CPD
  • Care First employee assistance programme
  • non-contributory membership of Benenden private health care cover
  • membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme
  • two-week, half-term break in October
  • cycle to work scheme
