The successful candidate will ensure that our students in the Resource Base receive high quality lessons aligned with the maths curriculum whole school. Experience of teaching students with ASD and other learning needs would be desirable but not essential – a passion for adaptive teaching and supporting students is essential.

Our Mathematics Faculty is a dynamic and collaborative team of seven specialist teachers, bringing together a wide range of experience, expertise, and enthusiasm for the subject. Teaching takes place in well resourced classrooms, all equipped with interactive whiteboards and visualisers to support engaging, high quality learning. We follow the White Rose Maths scheme of learning, complemented by weekly Sparx Maths tasks that help students consolidate and deepen their understanding.

Lessons are centrally planned to provide clarity and consistency across the curriculum, whilst allowing teachers the professional freedom to adapt and refine materials to meet the needs of their learners. Staff benefit from a strong culture of continued professional development, including collaborative CPD within the faculty and access to high quality whole school training, ensuring continual growth at every stage of a teacher’s career.
