Teacher of Mathematics

Full time, permanent position commencing September 2023

William Hulme’s Grammar School (WHGS) is a well-established 3-18 Academy and is one of the most over-subscribed schools in Greater Manchester with a long and distinguished history. It has a very inclusive and diverse community with over 40 languages spoken and our school is truly representative of Manchester’s rich multi-cultural heritage. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and particularly those committed to diversity and inclusion.

We are committed to ensuring that all children receive a first-class education that prepares them thoroughly for the future and allows them to play an active role in the life of the school and wider community. The school encourages staff to organise events and trips (home and abroad), extra-curricular and subject enrichment activities, to develop the whole child, to prepare him/her for the challenges of the modern world.

We have an opportunity for an outstanding Mathematics teacher to join the Maths Faculty. In 2018, the opening of a new Sixth Form Centre marked the completion of a huge expansion project. Inspectors judged the school to be Good in all phases in its most recent inspection in May 2019. Applications from ECTs are welcome.

Reporting to the Head of Faculty, you will be responsible for teaching Maths at Key Stages 3 and 4. You will be an outstanding teacher, delivering consistently good and outstanding lessons, an excellent team player with the highest standards pf professionalism and expectations of students. You will have up to date subject knowledge and a track record of success in maximising student progress across all key stages.

As well as being an enthusiastic teacher who is passionate about the teaching of Maths you will also need to demonstrate a commitment to the extra-curricular life of the school.

The Maths Faculty is well resourced and most teachers benefit from their own teaching classroom. It is a very successful and high achieving faculty with outstanding GCSE results. This was evidenced by Ofsted in the most recent inspection; "Pupils’ progress in mathematics by the end of key stage 4 is excellent (Ofsted, May 2019)". In addition, the uptake of Maths courses at A-level is strong.

William Hulme's Grammar School is Greater Manchester’s Second most over-subscribed school and one of the most successful comprehensive schools in the country. It is an all-through (3-18) Academy of over 1500 pupils with a wide range of abilities, ethnicities and backgrounds and is part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England..

United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resources, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.

We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.
