Shape brilliant minds and guide students through the beauty of mathematics - join us as Head of Maths. At Co-op Academy Manchester, we are seeking a passionate and ambitious maths leader with a genuine love for their subject and a strong commitment to excellent teaching. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who can inspire students, ignite curiosity, and help every young person achieve the very best possible outcomes in mathematics. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about their subject, intellectually curious, and committed to staying up to date with research and developments in mathematics education. You will set high expectations for behaviour, focus and engagement, be highly organised and dependable, and have a strong understanding of curriculum design and effective teaching. You will be committed to a curriculum that emphasises strong foundations of knowledge and a clear, coherent approach to learning. We are seeking to appoint a successful Head of Maths who understands how exceptional outcomes are achieved through clarity, consistency and high-quality teaching for all young people.

Co op Academy Manchester was recently judged 'Good' by Ofsted in March 2023. Ofsted said that: "Leaders, trustees and governors strive for all pupils at Co op Academy Manchester to be successful. Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the 'ways of being Co op' in all that they do." "Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well." "Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND. The curriculum is well organised. Subject leaders have thought deeply about the key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this content should be taught." We are looking for colleagues who are up for a challenge; who want to make a real difference to the lives of the children they work with; who are committed to their own professional development and who want to be outstanding teachers, classroom assistants, administrators, leaders, and support workers across a wide range of roles in our academy. All our values are based upon the values of the Co op Group, which will inform our behaviours. Self help: We do not expect to be spoon fed - we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time. Self responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners. Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed. Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement. Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success. Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals. Our Values Being part of the Co operative Group, we are both guided and driven by the Co op values which are embedded in everything that we do within our Academy - We strive to demonstrate the following ethical values in everything we do - they are our 'Ways of Being': Succeed together Do what matters most Be yourself, always Show you care So, if you believe in our values, we would love to hear from you!
