Head of Key Stage 3 Mathematics in Birmingham

We are looking for a passionate and ambitious Teacher of Maths to join our thriving school community. This is a fantastic opportunity to inspire young minds and help students achieve success through our core values of Respect, Curiosity and Perseverance.

At Ark Boulton, we foster a culture where students respect themselves and others, develop curiosity in their learning, and persevere to overcome challenges. We are looking for a teacher who shares these values and is committed to delivering engaging, high-quality Maths lessons that help every student succeed.

• To plan, resource and deliver lessons and sequences of lessons to the highest standard that ensure real learning takes place and pupils make superior progress.
• To provide a nurturing classroom and academy environment that helps pupils to develop as learners.
• To help to maintain/establish discipline across the whole academy.
• To contribute to the effective working of the academy.

Staff wellbeing is one of our main priorities. We provide breakfast for staff each morning, soup for lunch and lunch for those on duty. We have parking available, a gym on site and a well-equipped staff room including a pool table.

Our systems and processes for communication, marking and feedback and assessment are streamlined and the approaches we take are research led and based on the needs of our local context. For instance, we do not use traditional book marking across the school.

On Fridays, children and staff finish at 1.40pm. Staff voice is important to us; we are always seeking feedback and input from our staff.

For an informal conversation about the role please contact HR Officer, Amal Hersi on 0121 773 8156 or via email at: a.hersi@arkboulton.org.

Our strapline ‘growing together, reaching higher’ applies as much to our staff as our students. We recognise that the health and wellbeing of our staff will affect that of our students. For this reason, we have invested in developing our wellbeing room and other initiatives to care for our whole school community.

They are role-models and ambassadors for Boulton on a professional and public level. They reflect the virtues we promote which include courage, self-discipline, commitment, and honesty.

By becoming a member of our school family, you will embrace multiple opportunities for personal and professional development, not just within the school, but from the internationally renowned Ark family of schools we are a part of.
