Biddenham is an 11-19,
oversubscribed school that, as we expand, is entering the next phase of its
development. Due to our popularity, and as part of our £4.5 million building
programme, we need to grow and strengthen our already high performing staff
team who, by 2025, will be working with 1500 students.
To that end, we
are looking to appoint an inspiring and committed teacher to join our vibrant
Maths department.

offer a creative Key Stage 3 Maths curriculum, as part of our unique connected
curriculum. We deliver GCSE Maths across years 9, 10 and 11, with results
improving yearly. We have good numbers moving from Year 11 into Post 16 Maths,
where we deliver a high quality programme of A level teaching. We
deliver Level 3 core Maths, A level Maths and A level Further Maths.
Within
the department we have experienced ECF
mentors, who can fully support Early Careers Teachers
beginning their teaching career. Additionally, we have the flexibility to offer
a more experienced teacher A-level teaching in Maths, if desired. There
is scope for the right candidate to progress and assume additional
responsibilities within the school or department.
If you were to be successful,
you will be joining a school that is at the
heart of the community it serves and has been making a transformative
difference to the current and future lives of its students. You will join a wider dedicated team of teachers and
staff at an exciting time of growth and expansion for the school. We are
committed to providing access to technology for all by providing chromebooks to
all of our students and staff and developing innovative blended learning
approaches to teaching.
The
successful candidate will be a great teacher and someone who has strong
interpersonal skills and a passion for making a difference to young peoples’
lives. Teachers of other subjects will be considered, alongside a commitment to
retrain to specialise in Maths.
As a school we offer:
