Required ASAP

Burscough Priory Academy are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Teacher of Mathematics to join us on a fixed term basis until the return of the postholder. Our Mathematics team are fantastic – this is a cohesive, collegiate and high performing team. Do you convey a love of everything Mathematics? Do you make it accessible and enjoyable for all? Why not join a forward-thinking Academy wholly focused on providing inclusive learning experiences where everyone, staff and students, can be happy and thrive.

Burscough Priory Academy joined the Endeavour Learning Trust in September 2018 and has thrived as part of a successful family of schools. Our students are hardworking, enthusiastic and keen to work with the staff to get the very best out of every day at school. Since 2018, there has been rapid and sustained improvement, recognised by Ofsted in November 2022 when were judged a ‘Good’ school. Our staff are wholly optimistic, completely committed and work as one in the spirit of E Pluribus Unum.

On behalf of our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish because we pay close attention to work/home balance. Across the Trust, we continue to develop strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload - these include feedback, marking and centralised detentions.

Right across the Trust our teachers learn together. They share their practice, encourage and support each other to get the best out of the working day. The candidate will have opportunities to work with other colleagues to support the development of the curriculum and teaching in Mathematics across our family of schools.

In our schools we have a relentless focus on excellence, expect the highest standards of behaviour but we have a pragmatic emphasis on the balance between challenge and support, high expectation and nurture. And this counts for students and staff, teaching and non-teaching, so that our schools develop a family ethos, where everyone wants the best for everyone else.

In our team, our teachers are committed to continuously improving the classroom experience of our students with a genuine desire to improve their life chances.
