The Hastings Academy opened in September 2011 building on a three year trajectory of improved standards at the predecessor school. The Academy is seeking an outstanding teacher of Maths to join our dynamic and innovative workforce.

The Hastings Academy is committed to bringing out the best in every student. We regard the challenges of significant social-deprivation, high levels of free school meals and significant levels of special needs as opportunities to make life changing differences.

The English and Maths departments in both The Hastings and St Leonards Academies are joined in a curriculum area called “Essentials”. In addition to working alongside English teachers, the Maths team across The Hastings and St Leonards Academies works collaboratively. We are eager to learn from each other and embrace change.

The AST/ Lead teacher will develop teaching and learning in Maths, act as a role model of good practice and improve student achievement in Maths. The AST role will include outreach work. This post will be offered at either the AST pay spine or the Main Pay spine plus significant salary enhancement dependant on qualifications and experience.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. The Avademy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain an enhanced CRB disclosure for the Academy.
