Delta Academies Trust is looking to appoint a Director of Maths to join us in January 2026 on a full‑time, permanent basis. This role will be predominantly based at Lady Lumley’s School (Pickering), Filey School, Scalby School (Scarborough), and Scarborough UTC. You will be part of a motivated and collaborative team that is committed to achieving the very best outcomes for children. You will receive strong support from the wider Director team and the Executive Director of Maths, working together to raise standards and deliver high‑quality maths education across our academies. You will also have the opportunity to attend training and collaborative sessions at our Head Office in Knottingley, where you’ll connect with colleagues from across the Trust, share best practice, and contribute to our collective mission of improving life chances for all students.
Your new role at Delta Academies Trust is not just about numbers; it’s about creating an environment where maths becomes a cornerstone of success. As a high‑performing multi‑academy trust with a track record of exemplary outcomes, our vision is clear: to revolutionise education in all our schools, changing lives and shaping futures. We believe in the power of strong leadership, innovative teaching, and a supportive community to unlock the potential of every student. As the Director of Maths, you will be at the forefront of driving excellence in maths education; you will work closely with senior leadership and subject teams, fostering a culture of high achievement and inspiring both teachers and students.
Your mission will involve leading and mentoring maths departments, enhancing teaching quality, and elevating student outcomes. You will help shape a forward‑thinking curriculum that engages students and sparks a lifelong love of maths. By using data‑driven insights, you’ll identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions to maximise student success. At Delta, we share a standardised maths curriculum across all our academies, ensuring best practice in every academy. Our whole‑trust assessments, which are also standardised, provide a clear and accurate picture of student progress, allowing for targeted support where it is needed most. This collaborative approach ensures that every student benefits from the same rigorous and well‑structured learning experience, helping to drive achievement and close gaps in understanding. Our maths education builds a strong foundation in understanding, reasoning, and problem solving, fostering enjoyment and curiosity. Each lesson begins with a personalised retrieval activity to reinforce previous learning, aiding fluency and confidence. Misconceptions are addressed early, ensuring smooth progression. New topics are linked to prior knowledge, and problem‑solving skills are developed incrementally. Lessons conclude with a demonstration task where students show their understanding, helping plan the next steps. This approach ensures students build a strong foundation and can apply maths across various subjects.
We offer a permanent, full‑time position with the opportunity to make a substantial impact on education. This role provides the chance to collaborate with a dedicated and experienced team of subject directors and educational leaders. You will be shaping the future of maths education and being part of a Trust that values innovation, excellence, and community. If you’re ready to bring your expertise and passion for maths education to a role that offers both challenge and reward, we want to hear from you. Join us in our mission to ensure that every student, regardless of their starting point, can achieve their full potential and thrive.
