About this role
Please see job pack for detailed information.
The Maths Department is a well organised and highly successful team of 8 teachers, some of whom have different roles within the school, ranging from ECTs to very experienced teachers. Due to the expansion of the school, we are looking for an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to join our team.
Pupils are taught in ability sets, and enjoy coming to Maths lessons because of our strong routines and excellent teaching. Achievement and progress are regularly reviewed by the whole department to ensure individual pupils are placed in the correct group for their ability. There are 8 x 1 hour lessons per fortnight in all year groups. We follow a spiral curriculum, and offer GCSE Maths, GCSE Statistics, Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths and Entry Level Maths. Homework is set online. We also have well established links with our local feeder primary schools.
The aims of the Department are to ensure that our curriculum caters for all levels of achievement, for pupils to enjoy their maths lessons, feel supported and cared for. We strive for every child to achieve their full potential. This means that every pupil will leave Hastings with a maths qualification they can be proud of. But not only this, pupils will be prepared for life.
We pride ourselves on our pupils’ very high standards, which enable us to build on, generally excellent, Key Stage 2 results. Our GCSE results are significantly above the national average and amongst the best in the county. The progress made by all our pupils is very strong.
We are all proud to be a part of the Maths Department, and genuinely care about the pupils and each other. We aim to provide the best experience for every child, preparing pupils for life beyond Hastings. If you are interested in joining our team I look forward to meeting you!
S Hayton. Head of Department
