The Role

Are you ready to inspire and lead? At Co-op Swinton, we are seeking a dynamic Second in Department for Mathematics to guide curriculum, foster collaboration, and elevate student outcomes!

Our aim is to ensure that our students are given every opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. We are looking to appoint a second in department who shares our vision for an ambitious yet supportive and nurturing learning environment and curriculum. We focus on academic success and take pride in our students' behaviour, aiming for high achievement in an environment based on rewards rather than sanctions.

All our values are based on the Co-op Group values, which guide our behaviours:

• Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon-fed; we try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
• Self-responsibility: Everyone acts responsibly on the academy site and in the community. We take responsibility for our own learning to become independent learners.
• Equality: We celebrate our multicultural environment, respecting differences and ensuring equal opportunities for success.
• Equity: We recognize and reward individual achievements fairly to encourage all achievements.
• Democracy: We contribute ideas to make the academy successful.
• Solidarity: We work together to achieve more than alone.

• Succeed together
