Vacancy

Teacher of Maths

Salary information: Inner London i/c (UPS), suitable for ECTs
Start date: January 2025
Location: Stratford, London - Newham
Contract type: Permanent, 0.6 FTE, subject to an Enhanced DBS check

Early application is encouraged as we are hoping to interview and appoint as soon as possible.  School 21 reserves the right to close applications early and make an appointment at any stage.

School 21 is a pioneering 4 to 18 school in Stratford, East London that is developing a rich curriculum and a range of exciting pedagogies. This is your chance to be part of a committed maths team who believe in combining the best of mastery approaches with rigorous, rich problem-solving tasks.  

We are looking for an enthusiastic Maths teacher who is excited to join a department focused on continual development, engaged with the challenges of mixed attainment teaching and who is able to teach from KS3 to KS5.

We believe in supporting all students to see Mathematics as a subject for them, so Maths at School 21 is taught in mixed attainment classes throughout Key Stage 3, only moving into sets when the curriculum turns to preparing students for the higher or foundation tiers towards the end of Year 10. 

At Key Stage 5, we have a large number of students studying A Level Maths and a group studying Further Maths. While there is a strong commitment to exam skills and success, we also believe in developing problem solving, a desire for challenge and an appreciation for the subject that goes beyond A Level assessment.

Across the department we believe in continual development of ourselves and each other. We work on collaborative planning, with plentiful feedback given, to ensure our curriculum supports all students and we work in groups to develop our classroom craft.

The successful candidate will be:

  • An excellent classroom practitioner
  • A team player, keen to plan collaboratively 
  • Keen to engage in the latest thinking around how we teach Mathematical concepts
  • Someone willing to lean into all aspects of School 21 life

WE OFFER:

  • Bespoke CPD 
  • The chance to network with outstanding practitioners and learn from the best
  • Collaborative working across the 4 to 18 school

School 21 is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
