Maths really matters to the Outwood Family of Schools and at Outwood Grange Academy

We are seeking a regional teacher of maths who is passionate about the subject with a strong desire to help all children see and appreciate the value of maths. This is a regional post on a permanent contract within our West Yorkshire region. Your first posting will be at Outwood Grange Academy in Wakefield until August 2026, with your permanent posting confirmed during 25/26.


At Outwood Grange Academies Trust, we're not just a collection of schools, we're a family driven by a shared belief in the power of education to transform lives. With a proven track record of success and a reputation for excellence, we're one of the oldest and largest multi-academy trusts in the country. We're passionate about providing a world-class education for every student, and maths is at the heart of that mission. We're on a mission to put this vital subject at the heart of every child's learning journey, and we need passionate educators like you to join us.


This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people. Our single goal is 'Students First' and you will be joining a strong team of professionals working towards this aim.


The maths department at Outwood Grange Academy has 18 classrooms based in our dedicated maths block, each equipped with an interactive TV and visualiser to support the delivery of lessons. You will be joining a strong department that ranges in experience from ECTs to more than 20 years' experience and members of the Senior Leadership Team. We also benefit from maths one to one tutors and a specialist numeracy TA who offer intervention to students. The department is led by our experienced Head of Department with a vision to succeed. Leadership development, succession planning and capacity building are major priorities for the Trust as this enables us to facilitate rapid progression for those who want to advance either in the classroom or at a leadership level. You will be well supported by an experienced team of teachers and Directors as you work to raise attainment levels and offer an engaging curriculum experience that focuses on teaching for understanding. The ability to teach KS4 and KS5 is desirable as we are committed to continuing to provide excellent Post 16 provision.


The Academy benefits from being part of the Outwood Family of Schools, which affords opportunities for staff to work and progress across several schools if desired. All staff are guaranteed a minimum of two hours CPD per week and a further comprehensive programme of professional development is provided through our own network of schools. Our Executive Director for Maths leads Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub and there are masses of opportunities for you to get involved in the fantastic projects they run.
