Assistant Vice Principal - Mathematics

Q3 is a highly successful, oversubscribed Academy located in Great Barr committed to raising achievement and curriculum innovation. Our GCSE headline results were the best in Sandwell, with 75% of our students achieving 5 or more A*-C grades including English and Maths. This success is underpinned by a relentless focus on raising standards and improving the quality of Teaching and Learning.

As the sponsors of Q3 prepare to open a brand new school we are seeking to appoint a Senior Leader who will support the ongoing success at Q3 and be willing to assist with aspects of the development of the new Academy. You will need to be independent and innovative, working with a high level of autonomy.

We wish to appoint a highly motivated experienced teacher with successful curriculum and management experience to join the leadership team.
