Classroom Impact and Pupil Outcomes:

Work directly with pupils through teaching, modelling, diagnostic work, intervention and examination preparation.

Work directly with staff through coaching, co-planning, professional development, curriculum support and leadership challenge.

Improve teaching through focused lesson visits, modelling, co-planning, instructional coaching, diagnostic assessment, hinge questions, responsive teaching and effective feedback.

Lead and quality assure mathematics intervention, including Year 11 raising-attainment plans, small-group tuition and targeted support for disadvantaged pupils, pupils with SEND and pupils with weak prior attainment.

Trust Leadership

Support Trust Reviews, Team Around the School meetings, Board reporting, Education Reports and other quality-assurance activity where mathematics is a key line of enquiry.

Lead the Mathematics Subject Network as a practical improvement mechanism focused on curriculum, assessment, classroom practice, standardisation and outcomes.

Use Trust-wide time to analyse performance, develop resources, coordinate improvement work, lead the network, quality assure implementation and report impact.

Coordinate work with Ark Curriculum Plus, Pearson, Maths Hubs, NCETM and other partners so that external support is coherent and adds value.

Capacity Building:

Support the onboarding of secondary schools joining the Trust by reviewing provision, agreeing priorities with leaders and supporting alignment with SJCMAT expectations in a way that reflects each school’s context.

Develop Heads of Mathematics, second-in-department leaders, teachers and ECTs in each academy so that improvement is owned and sustained by schools, rather than being dependent on one individual.

We are looking for someone who:

Has a proven track record of securing sustained improvement in KS4 mathematics outcomes as a Head of Department or senior leader

Possesses expert knowledge of mathematics pedagogy, assessment and curriculum design across Key Stages 3 and 4

Has experience coaching and developing teachers and leaders at every level.

Can analyse performance data and translate evidence into highly effective improvement strategies
