Interviewing now. Early applications are recommended
If you have been teaching maths for a while and want to run the subject your way, this school is ready to hand it to you.
This SEN school in Surrey needs a Head of Maths for pupils with SEMH needs, autism and ADHD across Key Stages 2 to 4. You will lead maths across the school and teach your own classes as well.
Many of the pupils have found school hard before, and some feel anxious about learning. Your job is to shape a maths curriculum that starts from where they are and gives them a clear way forward.
The school is calm and therapeutic, and you will work with support staff, therapists and families to get maths right for each pupil.
You do not need to have led a department before. Leadership experience would help, but QTS is the only essential. If you are a confident maths teacher ready for your first lead role, the school wants to hear from you.
The role is permanent and full-time, 8am to 4pm, term time only. You can start as soon as you are free, or in January 2027. The school is within reach of Guildford and Reigate.
What you will do
- Lead maths across Key Stages 2 to 4 and decide how it is planned and taught
- Teach your own maths classes
- Track progress in maths and use it to plan next steps
- Support colleagues who teach maths with ideas, resources and feedback
- Work with therapists, support staff and families so each pupil’s plan fits how they learn
