Boston Spa Academy is seeking to recruit an inspirational colleague to the role of Director of Mathematics. This role is of great importance to our work as an academy - the successful applicant will be expected to lead a high performing team of colleagues to support students in achieving excellent outcomes at both GCSE and A Level.

The ideal applicant will have:

• Qualified Teacher Status.
• Successful record of teaching Mathematics including very strong results in public examinations
• Clear ideas and strategies for raising pupil attainment and achievement in Mathematics.

What the school offers its staff

As a trust, we want to ensure that professionals at every stage in their career have the opportunity to enjoy expert support and training. We are pleased to offer a generous benefits package to our team – as we work together to create a rewarding future for all including:

• Membership to a local government pension scheme.
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme which provides confidential professional advice and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• A commitment to continued investment in our professionals, supporting every member of staff throughout their career in the trust.
• Discounts and online offers at major high street/online retailers.
• £2k Cycle to work scheme.

Further details about the role

At Boston Spa Academy, we are proud to support students in developing the character traits required to be well-rounded individuals and for them to be prepared with the skills, habits and qualifications required for success in their future careers. Our community is built on kindness, respect, hard work and aspiration and our enabler to achieving this are the academy core values – Participation, Purpose, Positivity, Professionalism and being Principled. In January 2023, the exceptional nature of our work at Boston Spa Academy was recognised by Ofsted who rated the academy as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas of our work.

The mathematics department at Boston Spa Academy has an excellent track record of academic success. In the past two academic years, Progress 8 measures for the subject at GCSE were +0.97 and +1.07, placing the department as one of the highest performing in the country. This is further supplemented by our thriving A Level provision, in which Mathematics and Further Mathematics have large numbers of students who achieve exceptionally well. The team consists of 12 teachers, with a Deputy Director of Maths, and soon to be three Assistant Leaders of Maths. This exciting role has presented itself with the current Director of Maths securing an internal promotion within the academy, and so we are seeking a candidate who has the vision to maintain, and further develop, the exceptional provision that we offer in mathematics at Boston Spa Academy.

Boston Spa Academy joined The GORSE Academies Trust in 2018 and has since benefitted immensely from working in collaboration with other outstanding academies and from being part of one of the highest performing multi-academy trusts in the country. As a direct impact of this work, the academy has moved from being a school with average performance to one which secured a GCSE Progress 8 score of +0.75 and +0.50 in the past two academic years, as well as securing over 52% of grades being A*-B at A Level, in 2022. Boston Spa Academy is now amongst the highest performing schools in Leeds, the Yorkshire and Humber region and the country.

At Boston Spa Academy, we are proud that, in our recent Ofsted inspection graded “Outstanding”, it was commented that ‘staff feel valued and are proud to be members of the school’. The report also recognises that ‘leaders are highly supportive’ and ‘proactively seek to manage workload and support the well-being of staff’. As well as feeling part of a community with a common purpose, our professional body also benefits from outstanding CPD and support which is personalised to your particular needs and experience.

GORSE have established a long-standing culture of excellence where ‘high challenge, high support’ is commonplace. Our trust will be made up of 15 establishments by September 2025. In addition to this, we also operate GORSE SCITT and Leeds Teaching School Hub, important establishments in their own right. Ensuring that each element of the trust, including the central team, performs at its best to ensure all children, especially those whose who are disadvantaged, have the opportunity to secure the Gift of Choice, is the central mission of GORSE

What the school offers its staff

Q3 Academy Langley opened its doors in September 2016, becoming the first brand-new secondary education provider in Sandwell in a decade. We are looking to add to our fantastic team of dedicated, hard-working colleagues, who contribute to a wonderful culture of work.

Our curriculum model is focused primarily on the EBacc subjects, forming our Core. Furthermore over 80% of our cohorts follow this metric at KS4 meaning we over-staff in these vitally important subject areas. Additionally, we have a project-based, cross-curricular provision (Horizon, Innov8 and Cloud 9) that develops student learning both academically and holistically. Because of this innovative model, there is a minimal strain in terms of lesson planning, leaving time to hone learning and the art of teaching.

In May 2019, we received glowing feedback from our first Ofsted inspection. As well as highlighting our outstanding behaviour, pastoral and leadership systems, the lead inspector expressed that Q3 Academy Langley was ‘not a normal school.’ Our outward-facing approach has led us to be at the forefront of educational innovation – our focus on being ‘warm but strict’, and putting knowledge at the heart of our curriculum has led Schools Week to dub us ‘the Michaela of the Midlands’.

Additionally, our attendance and persistent absence figures have been amongst the very best in the entire country – this is particularly impressive when considering the socio-economic context of the Academy (IDACI ‘Deprived’) and the broad cultural mix of our cohort.

At Q3 Academy Langley, we have the absolute highest expectations of behaviour and politeness from our students, and have several procedures that support and reinforce these ideals. We expect the successful candidate to comply with such procedures, understanding that when an Academy rows together, students can learn in a safe and consistent environment. In July 2018, we were delighted to have been one of the first schools nationally to have been awarded the prestigious Schools of Character award, reflecting our commitment to developing young people beyond the classroom.
