Year 8 Maths Teacher (September 2025 start)
As a growing academy, we grow by another 210 pupils in September.
We therefore need to add capacity to our team, appointing a Maths teacher, who aligns with our culture and wants to achieve our aspirational goals.
This is a unique role that fits into our LAB model of empowering Key Stage 3. Our Year 8 Maths teacher will be responsible for delivering the Y8 maths curriculum to our 5 Year 8 classes. Reducing the workload of delivering the curriculum of multiple year groups, mastering one area of the curriculum, and forming excellent relationships with a single cohort of pupils, we want a dedicated and outstanding teacher who loves teaching KS3 maths!
This role is perfect for a maths specialist who wants a new challenge and enjoys forming strong relationships with pupils, but is also suited to Upper Key Stage 2 teachers who love teaching maths.
During or after school tours with the Principal are encouraged and highly recommended.
At LAB, we have incredible facilities, wonderful staff and pupils, a beautifully diverse community, and a culture of innovation, high expectations and warmth.
You must see it for yourself!
Please contact office@livingstone-aspirations.org or 01202 124555 to organise a tour.
