Ready to shape the future of Maths?
We’re looking for an innovative and passionate Lead Practitioner of Maths to drive forward our maths department – leading on pedagogy, coaching colleagues, and supporting strategic development.
You’ll benefit from access to exceptional professional development that will not only support colleagues but will help accelerate your own leadership journey too. With opportunities to train to become Maths Mastery Specialists through the Yorkshire & Humber Maths Hub, and more.
At Pontefract Academies Trust, our students are supported by an extensive list of maths enrichment opportunities, from co-curricular clubs to maths challenges, to a Primary Maths Championship, helping them to achieve strong outcomes.
Joining our Maths Department comes with numerous career benefits, including:
* A strong and well established department with a highly effective teaching team
* Extensive coaching and CPD support from our Trust Director of Maths to help you to develop your practice
* A fully planned and resourced curriculum, adaptable to meet the needs of our students
* Engaged and responsive students who achieve strong outcomes in the subject
