Details of the Role
Thank you for taking an interest in this role of Head of Maths The Kingsway School. Over the last three years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that TKS is a special place for our students. Our campus based Key Stage offer has brought about a significant shift in our school’s culture and reputation and we are delighted that our most recent Ofsted visit in February 2026 recognised the huge advancements the school has made. Our children are
happy here, our staff are proud to work here and our parents would recommend the school.
We view this appointment to be pivotal as we move into our next stage of development and we are looking for someone to work with this high performing team to build on their successes even further. This role is paid on the leadership spine and as such would suit a candidate with a proven track record in leading a Maths department to success or someone with the ambition to take up a Head of Maths role with some wider whole school leadership responsibilities.
The prime responsibility of the post of a Kingsway curriculum leader is to design an inspiring curriculum in line with our school and trust curriculum vision. Your primary role would be to support the Maths department in providing high quality teaching and learning in order to ensure every student’s potential is maximised. Innovation and vision are required to strengthen and enhance the school’s curriculum implementation via the lens of a subject
discipline, which in turn will create ambitious academic outcomes for our comprehensive student body. Our best subject leaders are passionate about their curriculum, informed by the latest curriculum research, committed, self-reflective, kind, community spirited and
undertake their duties with attention to detail and consistently high standards.
This post will include the opportunity to undertake strategic whole school leadership to develop your experience beyond that of a Head of Department.
