YOUR ROLE AS A LEADER

We are seeking a dynamic and inspirational leader to become our next Head of Mathematics. This is a pivotal role, offering the opportunity to shape the mathematical journey of all of our students and foster a culture of enthusiasm and achievement within the department. We want someone who not only excels in the subject but also has a passion for igniting that same passion in others, inspiring our teachers to offer outstanding teaching and learning in this core curriculum subject.

YOUR ROLE AS A TEACHER

At Stephen Perse everyone is a learner. While our pupils enjoy the benefits of a creative and innovative learning environment, our teachers strive to inspire and engage through using a wide range of pedagogical approaches.
We want every teacher to offer the very best in teaching and learning to our students and this will inevitably, and perhaps even increasingly, involve the digital world. We are iPad 1-to-1 from 11 to 18 and our Junior Schools use class sets. We are a leader in the use of digital technology within the classroom. This helps us to support our teachers and learners to have an appropriate use of these technologies.
We don’t need you to be a fluent or confident user of technology before you start working with us, but we will want you to have an agile and ambitious mind-set that is open to adopting new techniques. Training and support are offered on a regular basis as part of formal and informal CPD and is focused on student learning.
