About the role
At Fearnhill we know that great teachers make all the difference. We are committed to creating the best working conditions for our teachers so that they love their work and, as a result, have a positive impact on all our students. As the number of students on roll at Fearnhill continues to rise, we are looking for an ambitious and knowledgeable classroom teacher to teach Maths. This role involves delivering great lessons for our students and working alongside colleagues in the Maths department to develop curriculum and assessment. The role represents an ideal career opportunity for future roles in curriculum leadership.

Fearnhill is a great place to work because we value every member of the school community. The relationships that exist between students and staff are strong and the school is typically a happy environment. We care about reducing teacher workload so that teachers have time for a life outside of work. For example, we have no written marking, no written reports, fewer data cycles, no formal lesson observations, no appraisal targets and centralised detentions to ensure teachers’ time is not wasted.
We recognise that poor behaviour makes teaching an unpleasant experience and prevents students from learning. We have high expectations of our students and effectively hold them to account when their behaviour falls below these standards. As a result, teachers are well respected and lessons are rarely disrupted.
Finally, we prioritise high quality professional development for our teachers. We take pride in our shared knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning and support our staff to develop their expertise and grow in confidence as professionals.
If you are interested in this role please email the headteacher’s PA nikki.warren10@fearnhill.herts.sch.uk to either arrange an informal visit or to book a telephone conversation with the headteacher. Following this, candidates invited to interview will be expected to complete an application form at that time. We look forward to meeting you.
We reserve the right to close the advert should we feel able to appoint an appropriate candidate.
