MPS/UPS
Heathcote School is an 11 – 18 school on a rapid journey of improvement. The Headteacher joined the school in 2017 and is working with all stakeholders to ensure we provide the best education and life chances we can to the young people of our community. In September 2018 we had a full Ofsted inspection where we were graded as good in all areas. This is an exciting time to be at a school in an unparalleled setting with unlimited potential in a high challenge, low threat environment, and we are using all the lessons learnt from the pandemic to enable us to return to wider opening with a renewed focus on progress, achievement and developing a community that is stronger and more positive than ever before.
We are looking for a highly skilled, resourceful and motivated individual to join our Maths Department. This candidate must have experience and expertise of teaching both A Level Maths and A Level Further Maths with either a track record of success or clear evidence of an excellent start to A Level teaching.
Pupils at Heathcote are deserving of the very best in education and we are seeking a candidate who will go above and beyond to ensure their successes. We have a number of pupils ambitious to follow pathways in maths and we need to ensure they are able to be challenged by the best quality and suitably challenging teaching.
Ofsted (September 2018)
“The Headteacher and other senior leaders are ambitious for their pupils and provide strong strategic leadership.”
“Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are courteous and respectful.”
“Teachers speak highly of the many opportunities they are given to develop their practice. Staff who are new to the profession feel valued, supported and enjoy their work.”
Our Values:
Encourage
We encourage our pupils to take pride in their learning and community – to work hard, pursue continual improvement and achieve to the best of their abilities. pupils seek and embrace feedback and show tolerance and mutual respect to each other.
Challenge
We challenge our pupils to take responsibility for their learning, to be resilient to failure and to self-regulate their behaviour. All our staff and governors are determined that all pupils confidently strive for success and expect them to be present and punctual.
Succeed
We succeed when all pupils reach their academic potential and are thoughtful, caring and honest citizens; leaving Heathcote fully prepared for the next stage of their life – whether that be in education, training or employment. We succeed by letting them do so in a comfortable and safe environment where they take a proactive role and develop socially.
The school puts well-being and development at the heart of its work and we have very talented staff who are encouraged to grow, develop and work collaboratively, within school and with local schools, and to be the best they can be.
