Dear Applicant, RE: Teacher of Mathematics Thank you for expressing interest in the vacancy we have for Teacher of Mathematics, here at Northumberland Park Community School.
Please find enclosed an application form and information about the post. I hope this provides the information that you need in order to decide whether to apply. If you would like any further information, please contact the Jason Duffy, Business Manager – Human Resources on 020 8275 4832 or [email protected].
The school places teaching and learning at the heart of what it does and continuously supports and trains its teachers to become excellent. The school has achieved a dramatic improvement in achievement over the past few years, breaking through the presumptions that social deprivation limits attainment. We intend to continue to raise achievement beyond national averages and that of schools whose children and families are in more fortunate circumstances as, for our children more than others, education and achievement is a vital basis for their future life chances.
The outcome of the last Ofsted inspection in November 2016 was that ‘this school continues to be good’. We continue our journey to the goal of outstanding in the next inspection.
The school enjoys a rich mix of culturally diverse pupils drawn from one of London’s most ethnically vibrant wards. This socio-economic profile shields a positive and vital aspect of our school’s community. The school’s specialism is for the arts (music, media and art). The
3
school is fully integrated with the secondary base of the Vale Special School for children with physical disabilities and complex needs which share the campus and buildings.
Staff at Northumberland Park Community School are extremely hard working and committed and great emphasis is placed on common goals and teamwork. There is a strong philosophy of continuing professional development and ‘raising the bar’ for students and staff. Teaching and non-teaching staff are valued equally for their contribution to the success of the school. I look forward with interest to receiving and reading your application. Should you wish to visit the school, please contact Mr Jason Duffy, Business Manager – Human Resources.
