Mercia School

Mercia School (11-18) opened in 2018 in a brand-new building. Leaders and governors have an ambitious vision for the school and are determined that all pupils, irrespective of background will thrive and achieve well. The school has secured a strong reputation for educational excellence and during the last three years, has been the most over-subscribed school in the city.

Mercia School has a strong commitment to reduce workload for teachers. Within the longer day and ten training days, staff have dedicated time to complete all essential tasks and professional development. Everything is designed to ensure teachers have the time and energy to teach, and leave school at the end of the day without further work to undertake.

In February 2023, Ofsted inspected the school and graded all aspects of provision, and its overall effectiveness, to be ‘Outstanding’. Mercia School published exceptional GCSE results in the summer of 2023, achieving the highest Progress 8 score for disadvantaged pupils, this high-level of performance was repeated in 2024.

In September 2023, Mercia Collegiate Sixth Form opened. As the school continues to grow, it is crucial that we sustain our culture and effectiveness, and this role is central to our continued success.

Mercia School is a part of Mercia Learning Trust, a successful partnership of four primary and three secondary schools located in the south-west of Sheffield. Established in 2012, with one secondary school, our trust has grown to serving over 5000 pupils, with 650 staff.

Our staff are a crucial part of our trust, just like our pupils. We are devoted to recruiting, training, retaining and taking good care of our highly skilled and dedicated team.

The role

We are seeking a highly skilled and talented maths subject specialist. You will join a school with an incredible culture where you can contribute to the development of the maths curriculum. You will be committed to continuous improvement, striving to be the best teacher you can be. As such, you will deliver exceptional lessons and secure outstanding learning, progress and attainment for every pupil. Furthermore, all teachers contribute to the pupil elective and enrichment programme and are expected to engage in all aspects of school life.

At Mercia School, lessons are:

based on a carefully constructed, sequenced and ambitious curriculum

demanding and carefully planned so that all pupils make strong progress and secure necessary disciplinary knowledge

taught in a traditional way that gives pupils time to practise and master content

focused on learning, retention and strong foundations, and preparation and readiness for GCSE and beyond

always delivered to pupils who have exceptional behaviours and attitudes for learning, and in lessons without distraction
