We are looking to appoint an inspirational, conscientious, committed Mathematics teacher to join our successful Mathematics Faculty. The Mathematics Department at Drapers’ Academy is committed to raising the academic standards of all pupils and strives to ensure every pupil reaches their potential. Our vision for the Faculty is that our teaching instils a love of Mathematics and problem solving in every pupil, which supports them to be successful and independent adults. Mathematics is a strong supportive faculty consisting of ten full-time members of staff with a wide range of experience. Teachers are able to teach across the key stages and training and support to be able to deliver to our A level students is provided. A level Maths is one of the most popular subjects here at Drapers’, a reflection of the confidence our students have in their teachers and their enjoyment of the subject. Key Stage 3 pupils follow the White Rose scheme. Key Stage 4 and 5 pupils follow Edexcel’s schemes. Year 7 are taught in mixed attainment classes and pupils in all other year groups are taught in attainment sets. Pupils are offered 8 hours of teaching per fortnight in KS3 and KS4. All KS4 and KS5 pupils have access to their own Chromebooks. All KS3 and KS4 homework is set and marked automatically via Sparx Maths and other useful online tools. In KS5, we offer both A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics and our students have secured places in top universities such as Cambridge and Warwick. The Faculty offers a variety of additional clubs, which pupils can attend, aimed at helping those in need of additional support and extending the more able. Our pupils also successfully participate in UKMT challenges.
