This is an incredible opportunity for a Teacher of Maths (KS3/KS4) to make a difference and join a great team of people within a supportive, values-led organisation in the secondary provision. For the right candidate, there is an opportunity for a middle leadership role within the academy.
As a Maths Teacher at Ormiston Latimer Academy, you will play a vital role in inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in students who may have found mainstream education challenging. You will be responsible for delivering engaging and accessible Maths lessons that connect theory to real-world applications, helping students build confidence in their abilities and fostering a lifelong interest in scientific discovery and numerical reasoning.
Located in Kensington & Chelsea, Ormiston Latimer Academy provides a caring environment based on integrity, mutual respect, and understanding. It seeks to reignite passion in education and aspiration. Each learner is treated as an individual and is supported to develop within an environment that develops a love of learning and the ability to create social and emotional skills fit for the world outside of education.
The main provision at Latimer is for secondary learners, but we have primary provision on site, along with a managed intervention centre and outreach service. Our learners are at risk of or have been excluded from mainstream settings. We serve the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We believe that success for our young people comes because of our specialist approach; we are interested in activities that develop all young people’s capabilities; their potential for employability; their ability to have successful healthy relationships; their ability to make safe life choices, enhancing their quality of life and the realisation of their aspirations.
Our approach considers our young people’s education experiences to date, their social-emotional health, their mental health, their family situation and experiences, and their special educational needs (SEN). We work closely with professionals, families, and other practitioners to affect change in our young people’s lives, ensuring our work is holistic and therefore creates success by any means for all our children. We are proud of the work that we do, and the environment of our school is caring supportive, and inclusive. We believe that through this approach we support our children, enhancing their quality of life and promoting the realisation of their aspirations.
