We are looking for an inspirational classroom practitioner to complement the Maths team at Lawnswood School. An opportunity to teach mathematics should be seen as an exciting prospect and the opening currently available at Lawnswood School is far more than ‘just another maths job’.
We are on a journey that is revolutionising the student experience, both departmentally and whole school. The fabric of our school is based on continuous improvement and commitment to progression. To accommodate this in maths, we make a significant financial investment in our partnership programmes and have a collective commitment to deliver improvement and innovation in the classroom and across the wider school community.
Our improvement strategy is not based on annual trends. We are striving to achieve lasting change in staff and students so that maths outcomes are predictably excellent and that all of our students leave with true skills for life.
We look forward to receiving applications from experienced and ECT candidates.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. If shortlisted, you will be required to disclose relevant information regarding criminal history and an online search will be conducted. This includes only information publicly available online.
