Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a highly skilled and enthusiastic teacher within our successful, supportive and high performing Maths faculty, where teaching and learning is at the heart of our collaborative practice.
The mathematics department is a dedicated team who enjoy working collaboratively to ensure students have the best possible experience in their lessons. We achieved above average results both GCSE, this year ranking in the top 5% nationally for pass rates based on FFT value added measures. We attract great numbers at post 16, offering A Level Maths, Further Maths and Core Maths and this year secured phenomenal outcomes in all courses. The ideal candidate will be an outstanding classroom practitioner and have the enthusiasm to impart a love of Maths on an amazing set of students.

A bespoke CPD programme at Heanor Gate means that tailored support is matched to career stage expectations and individuals continually develop their own professional practice in line with personal priorities.
