Role: Maths Teacher
Start Date - Easter or September 2026
Thank you for
your interest in the position of Maths Teacher.
Our school has
been on a continuous upward trajectory for a number of years. In the summers of
2022 and 2023, our Year 11 cohorts achieved Progress 8 scores putting us in the
top 10 in the county. In the summer of 2024, based on student progress, we
placed in the top 8.1% of schools nationally.
As a community
that develops personal growth, excellence and achievement for all, we are
incredibly proud of everything the school has become and what we have achieved
in the last few years: our well-rounded young people who have gone on to
purposeful and challenging further education, some of the best GCSE results in
the county and our recent Ofsted report.
We are also
hugely proud of our staff who are relentlessly hardworking, supportive of one
another and passionately committed to securing the best possible life chances
for the young people we serve.
At
Long Stratton, we adopt an evidence-informed approach to curriculum, assessment
and teaching. We recognise that curriculum is a journey and that our work
improving the curriculum is never complete. Through our ambitious,
knowledge-rich approach to curriculum, we aim to select and sequence knowledge
carefully so that students acquire lifelong, memorable knowledge. We adopt a
'no written marking' approach to formative assessment, believing firmly in the
power of responsive teaching as the first port of call for providing students
with valuable feedback on how to improve. We apply the principles of cognitive
science to our approaches to teaching: we teach with memory and overload in
mind; we recap content so that students cannot forget; and we encourage metacognitive
thinking through planning and live modelling. Through instructional coaching, every
member of our teaching community gets regular feedback on their practice and is
supported to get a little bit better every day. We are a community that is
committed to constantly learning and improving so that we can continue to build
a great school together, achieving truly excellent outcomes for our students.
This role is an exciting opportunity for you to join our team and teach Maths to KS3 and KS4 level. It will require huge amounts of perseverance and a constant drive for innovative excellence but will also be incredibly rewarding and will offer exciting progression for the future.
