Second in Charge - Maths department

Inspire. Lead. Transform.

Are you an outstanding maths teacher with a passion for driving excellence in teaching and learning? Do you have the vision and expertise to support colleagues in raising achievement and ensuring every student reaches their potential?

The Hurlingham Academy is seeking to

appoint a dynamic and innovative maths teacher to be the Second in Charge (2i/c) for our forward-thinking department. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled practitioner to take a central role in shaping the future of mathematics across our academy.

The School:

The Hurlingham Academy is a very special community. Ofsted officially recognised our mixed comprehensive school as 'outstanding' in March 2024 and inspectors saw that 'pupils behave exceptionally well and achieve highly.' Our GCSE results consistently place us in the top 5 United Learning academies and our students have made 'well above average' progress for the last six years.

These results are due to the unique culture that has developed at The Hurlingham Academy. The highest expectations of students and real academic rigour are combined with a strong focus on developing the whole child and embedding a culture in which every single child matters and must be supported to achieve their full potential. 42% of our students are pupil premium (nearly twice the national average) and so we are working to help some of the UK's most economically needy students achieve the best GCSE results possible.

At The Hurlingham Academy, we strive to ensure that our teaching standards are exceptionally high, and that children feel safe and supported in school. Lessons follow a knowledge-rich and academically rigorous curriculum, and we place a significant emphasis on teachers inspiring their students to love each subject and enjoy their learning.

Our staff body is a collaborative, close-knit and diverse community that learns together, has fun together and continues on our journey towards all-round excellence for each individual student, year after year. Our staff feel empowered, supported and are provided with the highest-quality professional development.

As part of United Learning, staff at The Hurlingham Academy enjoy enhanced rates of pay, additional planning days, shared curriculum resources, access to subject advisers and networks, 20% PPA time across an average working week, enhanced parental leave, wellbeing support, access to free and confidential counselling support, an excellent CPD offer and career progression opportunities within school clusters.

The Hurlingham Academy is located in Fulham, West London, just 10 minutes from Parsons Green tube station and within a stone's throw of the River Thames. We welcome visits from prospective applicants.

The Role:

As Second in Charge of Mathematics, you will:

Model outstanding classroom practice and inspire a love of mathematics across the school. Support and coach colleagues to continually improve the quality of teaching and learning. Lead innovative approaches to curriculum design, assessment, and pedagogy. Drive up attainment and progress in mathematics at KS3 and KS4.

About You:

We are looking for an exceptional maths teacher who:

Has a proven track record of outstanding teaching and securing excellent outcomes. Can inspire, motivate and develop colleagues at all stages of their career. Is passionate about maths education and raising student achievement. Brings energy, resilience, and creativity to leadership. Shares our commitment to high expectations, inclusion, and aspiration for every student.
