Chief Executive Officer: Lee Wilson
Principal: Mandy Crane
We are an Ofsted Good rated, 11-18 academy, with a thriving sixth form and a campus undergoing a transformation, based in the friendly, South Yorkshire town of Doncaster.
Since becoming part of the Outwood Family in 2016, GCSE results have continued to improve and we are delighted that in its latest report, Ofsted noted that the ‘good relationships between pupils and staff are a cornerstone of the mutual respect’ we enjoy at the academy. We are focused on creating a culture of success, a positive climate for learning, and increased attainment, achievement and social and emotional development.
We believe our success speaks for itself as we are above the national average for the number of students achieving at a Grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs. We are also proud to have been awarded Bronze Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award and to have received the IQM Award, which highlights our commitment to inclusion.
We believe we are on a journey towards Outstanding. Help to take us to the next level.
The Outwood Family of Schools pride ourselves on fully supporting colleagues within the Family both professionally and personally.
We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.
As a founding Trust of the National Institute of Education (NIoT), we will actively invest in your future through working closely with the Outwood Institute of Education and NIoT to offer access to a wide range of CPD opportunities, with all teaching staff receiving a minimum of two hours of CPD each week.
We also offer a generous employment package with a whole host of staff benefits, including family friendly policies, enhanced occupational benefits available (such as maternity, adoption and parental leave) with no qualifying period, funded CPD for qualifications up to and including Masters level plus other exclusive benefits including a partnership with car leasing company, Synergy.
All academies within the Outwood Family have gained the IQM Inclusive Schools Award with 18 having Centre of Excellence status and one holding Flagship status.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to join our Mathematics department. This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people. Our single goal is ‘Students First’ and you will be joining a strong team of professionals working to this sole aim.
Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children. The maths department at Outwood Academy Danum has 11 purpose classrooms based in our brand new building, each equipped with an interactive TV to support the delivery of lessons. You will be joining a strong department that ranges in experience from ECT1 to more than 20 years experience and members of the senior leadership team. We also benefit from two one to one tutors who offer intervention to students. The vision of the maths department is to develop our students into mathematicians who enjoy the subject and continue to study the subject beyond 16. Leadership development, succession planning and capacity building are major priorities for the Trust as this enables us to facilitate rapid progression for those who want to advance either in the classroom or at a leadership level.

You will be well supported by an experienced team of teachers and Directors as you work to raise attainment levels and offer an engaging curriculum experience that focuses on teaching for understanding.
The Academy benefits from being part of the Outwood Family of Schools, which affords opportunities for staff to work and progress across several schools if desired. All staff are guaranteed a minimum of two hours CPD per week and a further comprehensive programme of professional development is provided through our own network of teaching schools. Our Executive Director for Maths leads the Yorkshire and the Humber MathsHub and there are masses of opportunities for you to get involved in the fantastic projects they run.
This is a permanent Outwood Academy Danum contract. Subject to curriculum demand in September, there may be a need for the appointee to undertake a short period of maths teaching at a neighbouring Outwood academy until a suitable vacancy arises at Danum.
