The Role  

Here at the QKA Maths department our vision is: ‘For our students we seek to be the best.’ 

It is with our vision in mind and our culture of success, positivity and belonging that we are looking to appoint a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher to join our established and flourishing maths department. 

Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and by constantly seeking to be the best, we are confident that we are making a difference to student’s lives, through the opportunities we are giving them in our lessons. We want our students to leave this academy remembering their maths lessons. 

Our department is well resourced and led by committed practitioners, who are focused on continuing the process of raising standards and expectations in our department and beyond. The last two years have seen a pleasing increase in our GCSE grades and standards with huge gains in progress and attainment. Our students achieving the top grades in GCSE maths has tripled compared to the previous exam season, and the progress made by students improved significantly this year. 

We have begun to embed our improved success at KS4 in KS3. This year we have implemented a new KS3 curriculum, in order to ensure that our students are more prepared for the rigorous demands of the current GCSE; particularly with regard to problem solving and reasoning. 

With our progress and attainment improving, we are looking to maintain this accelerated progress with a new addition to our department.  

We want our department to expand; and are aiming to increase our sixth form numbers for A-level and AS-Level Maths, and have introduced Core Maths to our curriculum for KS5 from September 2020. At GCSE we hope to introduce GCSE Statistics as an option, to provide more opportunities for our more able maths students.  

It is truly exciting times for our department and we are looking to welcome another colleague to join this highly driven and successful department, who will buy into our vision and culture. 

This is an excellent opportunity to join a school within one of the well-regarded Trusts in the eastern region. The school has a great history of success and a bright and exciting future and we are looking for an ambitious and dynamic teacher to steer it through the next stage of its development. Collaboration, educational research and professional development are at the core of how the schools within Thomas Deacon Education Trust work together.  

The Trust offers:

Excellent salary package.

Fantastic training/CPD opportunities in a friendly supportive environment.

Opportunity for progression across Thomas Deacon Education Trust.

An engaging, creative and welcoming environment to learners who take pride in their school.

An inclusive and collaborative approach.

A talented, highly motivated, committed and professional team of colleagues, both within the school and across the trust.

An actively supportive Local Governing Body and Trust leadership.
