Job overview

----------------


Phoenix is a multi-cultural 11-19 secondary school, serving 1,965 students in the north of West Bromwich close to the border with Walsall in the West Midlands. Opened in September 2010, as a result of the merger of two local schools, Phoenix has established itself as one of the highest performing schools in the area, an accolade achieved through commitment to continually improving the quality of teaching and learning and the provision of an exciting and dynamic learning experience for students.



Over recent years examination results have continued to improve which is reflected in our 2024 value added figure of +0.17 published by the DFE. This is expected to be further enhanced in 2025 with an EBacc cohort now approaching 40%. Phoenix is a school that aspires to turn every child's dream into reality; believes that there is no limit to what can be achieved and succeeds through passion, commitment and determination.



We are seeking to appoint a highly talented and innovative, qualified Leader of KS4 Mathematics to join our friendly and supportive team. You will have a confident understanding of the curriculum and the ability to inspire excellent learning.



The Maths team currently comprises 21 specialist teachers. The department has leads for each of the key stages, of which this advert relates to one of them, alongside two colleagues who help to lead on whole school teaching and learning strategies.



Maths results are on the up year on year and one of the reasons for this is the teamwork and comradery within the department. The number of students staying on to study Maths post 16 at both A level (Maths and Further Maths) and Core Maths has increased to where Maths is now amongst the most popular subjects in the Sixth Form.



As a school we have a fabulous CPD offer to support colleagues at whatever point in their career they are, from our ITT to our senior leaders. We also offer our staff a supportive welfare package including, but not limited to, access to physiotherapy, nurse & doctor appointments and counselling. Phoenix is one of only a few schools nationally to benefit from the government's priority schools building programme and our state-of-the-art facilities are second to none.



The students and staff at Phoenix face an exciting future. If you would like to be part of a school that is committed to becoming the very best, and if you can inspire and motivate our students, you could be the person for this role.

Phoenix was one of only a few schools nationally to benefit from the government's priority schools building programme, and our state-of-the-art facilities which opened in 2017 are second to none. But we have not stopped there, with additional MUGAs, a climbing wall, low-level assault course and new teaching walls in every classroom with new interactive screens already added. By September 2025, we aim to have a new classroom block with gym facilities, as well as a 3G soccer pitch.



We invest heavily in the professional development of our staff and have a calendar of high-quality activities that support the career progression of individuals and the priorities of the school. As a school, we have signed up to the Staff Well-being Charter and invested in a benefits and welfare package for our staff which includes a car salary sacrifice scheme. We also have many family friendly policies within the school.



Phoenix really is a great place to work, but don't take my word for it, please take the opportunity to visit us and see for yourself. I would be proud and delighted to show you around.
