Teacher of Mathematics

We fully acknowledge that the success and achievements of our pupils are directly linked to the unwavering dedication, motivation and commitment of our staff. We recognise the success of our schools depends on the quality of leadership at all levels. We are therefore committed to creating an environment that nurtures and supports the professional growth of our leaders.

Inspiring the hearts and minds of our staff remains our core purpose. Our leaders endeavour to provide an environment for staff to succeed, to feel appreciated and most of all to develop a deep emotional connection to the values that drive our decision making.

We recognise the success of our Trust hinges on the collective abilities, perspectives and contributions of our employees. Therefore, we strive to create a working environment that inspires and engages our workforce, fostering collaboration, inclusivity and support.

We are committed to providing clear and articulated career pathways that offer development opportunities across the Trust and schools. Encompassing leadership roles, subject expertise and phase-specific knowledge, ensuring every staff member has the chance to grow and excel in their chosen field.

Support is fundamental in our strategy. We are devoted to providing a working environment where each individual feels safe, valued and encouraged in their professional journey. The wellbeing, health and overall happiness of our employees are of utmost importance.

The Mathematics department is a strong collaborative team, determined to deliver a curriculum that builds confident mathematicians who are ready and prepared for the next stages in their learning and life. We work together to plan, deliver and enhance our curriculum for all students at Staindrop, and have strong links across the ALP family of schools to further the opportunities available to our learners. We want our students to love Maths as much as we do, with a focus on mastery through an ethos of continuous personalised improvement. Our vision is to 'fuel students with the desire to reason mathematically' by equipping students with the skills needed to communicate their ideas using the beautiful language that is mathematics. You will be joining a team of four staff, led by experienced, successful practitioners including the current head of mathematics and current assistant headteacher. Other current department members have successfully completed training and ECT programmes at
Staindrop and across the ALP trust schools. We run our own bespoke curriculum from year 7 to 11, which continues to evolve and strengthen year-onyear and enter students for Edexcel GCSE Mathematics and AQA Further Math's Level 2 and Statistics.
