Job overview

A NEW TYPE OF LEARNING, A NEW KIND OF TEACHER

School 21 is a pioneering new school in Stratford, East London. It is a small school with only 75 in a year and a “family atmosphere” in which every teacher is a coach of 13 students nurturing their well-being and growth. Maths is taught with excitement and rigour.  Our approach combines mastering the basics with rich, real world projects so that students develop their thinking and problem solving skills. 

We are looking for a great Maths teacher to help shape our curriculum and pedagogy that fosters deep understanding of the big concepts of Maths with real world application.  The successful candidate will also have a track record of excellent GCSE outcomes for students from a range of starting points and be skilled at intervening where there is underperformance.

School 21 has built strong foundations in a short period of time, confirmed by our recent Ofsted which was outstanding in all categories.

There was strong recognition for the ethos and approach of the school:

"Pupils across the school make exceptional progress."
"Pupils have excellent attitudes to learning, impeccable manners and show respect for everyone.”
Through project-based learning "pupils achieve remarkable standards of work and demonstrated knowledge and skills at levels beyond those expected for their age group."
“Pupils talk and discuss with a maturity and confidence that is remarkable for their years."

School 21 is an exciting place to work: with fresh thinking, a great team spirit, and a core belief in the power of education to transform lives. We give teachers the time, space and support to collaborate and produce deep learning for the students. The students’ “outstanding behaviour” and attitudes to learning mean you get an incredibly rewarding response to any challenge you throw at them.

THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES WILL BE:

  • An outstanding teacher and subject specialist with a track record of delivering Maths problem solving projects and excellent GCSE results
  • Experienced at developing numeracy intervention strategies
  • Skilled at fostering independent, student-led learning
  • A creative thinker about pedagogy
  • A teacher of English Language skills within the context of Maths.
  • Innovative in using new technology to enhance learning
  • A collaborative planner, able to develop projects and resources across subject disciplines
  • Interested in developing the 21st century skills and qualities of every child

About School 21

School 21 is a pioneering 4 to 18 school in Stratford, East London, for girls and boys and children from all starting points and backgrounds. We are looking for the next cohort of teachers who want to continue to shape the school so that it stays at the forefront of innovation in education.

School 21 is a very special and different kind of place to work in. We empower staff to find their voice and their creativity. We offer collaboration and learning across ages and subjects. All staff have tailored programmes of professional development which results in extraordinary outcomes for the students. We offer multiple routes for progression through subjects and pedagogies. We believe strongly in developing the full potential of all staff.

The mission of School 21 is to empower young people to take on the world. Through a rich curriculum of ‘head’, ‘heart’ and ‘hand’ we want children knowing a lot, understanding themselves and making things happen. Our ‘dialogic approach’ to teaching helps children learn through talk and learn to talk and give everyone a voice.

We think schools should be places where children craft stunning work with real products, for real audiences and as a result of real teacher collaboration. Over the past few years our students have created immersive theatre productions depicting the French and Russian revolutions, built mechanical toys bursting with scientific craft. They have spoken out about human rights, ran campaigns to improve the biodiversity of Stratford and charted local history through photographs and poetry. Student work has been critiqued by directors and historians, professors and artists. All work is displayed, celebrated and challenged at termly Exhibitions of Beautiful Work where children tell us their stories of learning, drawing on their deep wells of oracy and well-being.
