At Cyfarthfa High School, we are looking for an exceptional Head of Mathematics and Numeracy to lead a committed team and shape the future of mathematics education for our learners.

Yes, our school is currently in Estyn Special Measures – but this is not a story of stagnation. It is a story of rapid improvement, renewed ambition and real momentum.
