Panoramic Associates is excited to be working in partnership with Alderman Knight School, a highly respected special school in Gloucestershire, to recruit a Subject Leader of Maths.

The Role
We are seeking a Subject Leader of Maths who is confident in leading and managing the teaching of numeracy and mathematics across the school, from Primary to Post-16. The successful candidate will ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND, achieve exceptional progress in Maths.

- Deliver lessons of the highest quality, supporting pupils to make excellent progress regardless of their starting points
- Lead a team of passionate professionals to deliver a curriculum that is relevant and meets the needs of all pupils, including those with a wide range of SEND
