An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Maths department as a Curriculum Leader of Maths.




Over the last three years the school has been on a rapid journey of transformation which has resulted in significant improvements in attendance, behaviour and progress.



We are a smaller than average secondary school, that prides itself on being openly inclusive, non-selective, with a passionate and hardworking team, that are committed to improving the life chances for our students and their families.




Park Lane Academy was inspected by Ofsted in October 2022, and we were described as an 'improving school' where leaders act with integrity and are focused on creating an inclusive school and a place where pupils talk positively about the changes that they are seeing.



Our motivation is to continue our transformational journey with our mission to strive for excellence in everything that we do. At PLA we ensure that positive relationships are at the core of what we do each and every day underpinned by our 3 core values of Respect, Ambition and Pride. We passionately believe that, as educators, we have a powerful role to play to inspire our students to be the best they can be to enable our students to thrive and achieve their passports to success.



We are looking for a passionate, energetic and dedicated candidate with a strong character and someone who has the ability to motivate and inspire our students to achieve their full potential. Most importantly we are keen to hear from candidates that are driven by a strong sense of purpose and the genuine ambition to help the academy drive standards and turn our vision into reality.



If this is a position that appeals, and you want to be a part of our exciting 'Journey to Good' then we are keen to hear from you.
