Maltings Academy is an 11-16 co-educational Academy for 900 students. The Academy opened in September 2012 on the site of the predecessor school. Maltings academy is an oversubscribed school at the heart of its local community. We have excellent transport links to London which enables our staff and young people to take full advantage of the wealth of opportunities that London provides.

We are looking for a second in charge of Maths to join our excellent team of professionals to support the Head of Subject in leading the team. The Maths department is made up of 6 qualified teachers who work collaboratively to ensure that planning and resources are shared.

The Maths curriculum is delivered through 7 lessons a fortnight at KS3 and 8 lessons a fortnight at KS4. Students engage in specifically sequenced lessons from an assessment led and knowledge mapped SoL and teachers use ‘The Mastery Flow Model’ of representation, fluency, probing questions, further extension and rich tasks. The  progression through the five stages of ‘The Mastery Flow Model’ allows students to develop confidence, deep understanding and retention of information. 

Maths students at Maltings Academy will:

• Be resilient problem solvers and analytical, which are all transferable skills for further education, training and employment. 
• Be able to use reasoning, justify, explain, convince, use familiar and unfamiliar context and be aware of potential errors.
• Be informed citizens who are financially responsible, with regards to value for money by solving best buy problems and knowing the difference between simple interest and compound interest for savings.
• Leave with a growth mindset to be lifelong learners and lifelong problem solvers.

At Maltings Academy we are committed to deliver a sustained and excellent all round education and believe every student, regardless of starting point, has the right to the highest standard of education so that they can achieve their aspirations. Our aim is to give every student a holistic educational experience that is enjoyable and supportive to help develop them into responsible, articulate, successful and altruistic young people.

The balanced mix of traditional values of strong discipline, good manners, respect and pride in appearance coupled with contemporary practice in teaching and technology through Google Suite sit at our core. With these core principles, we develop our students individually into the proficient and assured individuals that have the will and determination to excel academically and personally now and in their future lives.

Students are rightly rewarded for developing positive behaviours and attitudes, for their effort and being resilient, for a courteous and considerate manner, for attending regularly and for achieving their personal best. They are taught the value of hard work and determination as an important life skill. 

Ideally you will have:

• A record of raising and maintaining standards.
• Vision, drive and flare as you join our supportive and forward thinking team of teachers.
• A genuine commitment to making a positive contribution to the academy.

Our Offer to You:

• A commitment to further developing you as a future leader through access to the school network of our sponsor Academies Enterprise Trust.
• To be part of an academy moving forward at pace.
• A highly committed staff team developing and driving a culture of high expectations and no excuses.

Visits to the academy are welcomed. For an informal discussion about the post, and to arrange a visit please contact Julie Joiner:
