Assistant Head of Mathematics
Required for 1st September 2025
Permanent Contract
Ladybridge High School is a warm, friendly and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community. We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life. We are committed to our ‘Trivium’ approach to education, which is summarised on our website here.
The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work. We aspire to be an ‘evidence-informed’ school where teachers are encouraged to read, research, collaborate and take calculated risks in the classroom.
Teaching staff at Ladybridge typically have a minimum of 20% Planning Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time, significantly above the national expectation of 10%. All teaching staff have a ‘flexi afternoon’ each fortnight, where they are free to leave the school site at the start of lunchtime. We do not expect teachers to work on their flexi afternoons. The vast majority of our associate staff also have varying degrees of flexible working. This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance.
The successful candidate will be expected to:
* Work collaboratively with the Head of Department to set a clear strategic direction and vision for teaching and learning
* Lead and manage people effectively and help them to feel enthused about teaching Mathematics
* Be organised and able to make things happen
* Lead training to further improve teaching and learning
* Lead by example as both a teacher and leader
The application process:
Interested colleagues should complete an application form and submit it, along with a letter of application outlining how your experiences to date align with a Trivium philosophy of education.
Deadline for applications: Wednesday 30th April 2025 at 8.00am
Shortlisting: Wednesday 30th April 2025
Interviews will be held: Thursday 8th May 2025
