Lead Practitioner - Whole School Responsibility for Numeracy

As Lead Practitioner for Numeracy, you will play a critical role in improving the quality of teaching and learning in numeracy across the whole academy, ensuring that consistently strong, evidence-informed practice leads to improved outcomes for pupils in all subjects. You will be an expert classroom practitioner in Mathematics whose teaching sets the standard for others. Through modelling, coaching and professional collaboration, you will support colleagues both within the Maths department and across the wider curriculum to refine their practice, strengthen subject knowledge and develop effective approaches to teaching numeracy. Location: A central aspect of the role will be working closely with the Curriculum Director for Maths and the Senior Leadership Team to support the effective implementation of the Mathematics curriculum, while also leading the development and embedding of a coherent whole-school numeracy approach. This will ensure that mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving are consistently reinforced across subjects. You will contribute to curriculum development where appropriate, particularly in relation to pedagogy, assessment and adaptive teaching, and will support subject leaders to identify meaningful opportunities to embed numeracy within their curriculum areas. You will lead by example in the classroom, demonstrating excellent practice in areas such as explanation, modelling, questioning, feedback and the effective use of assessment. You will support teachers to use assessment intelligently to identify misconceptions, adapt teaching and improve pupil progress, both in Mathematics and in wider numeracy-rich contexts. You will play a key role in professional development, delivering targeted coaching, mentoring and CPD for Mathematics teachers and, where appropriate, non-specialist staff, supporting them to develop confidence and consistency in teaching numeracy within their subject areas.
