Are you passionate about Mathematics and determined to make ‘every pupil count’? At Longridge High School we believe our pupils deserve the very best – ‘Excellence and ambition from all, for all.’ If you are an inspirational and enthusiastic leader who is committed to achieving the very best outcomes from pupils of all levels and ability, we would be delighted to hear from you. This position would suit an experienced or an aspiring leader who would like to work in a happy and successful school.
Longridge High School is situated on the outskirts of Longridge, a small manufacturing and market town between Preston and the Ribble Valley. We have 50+ teaching staff and approximately 830 pupils. The school serves the local community and has a large catchment area encompassing neighbouring villages, a large rural district, and urban areas of Preston. The school was originally built in 1959, with additional accommodation added in subsequent years. School facilities have been continuously updated and refurbished and the school now has a purpose built teaching block to take on additional pupil numbers.
As a school, we are ambitious for all our young people in all areas of school life. We are passionate about and committed to the belief that every young person deserves an excellent education. As such, we aim to provide excellent all round learning experiences, both in the classroom and beyond, for every pupil, allowing them to thrive and develop in a supportive, secure, and challenging environment where they can enjoy, aspire, and achieve. We prepare every young person for life through a consistent approach to excellent behaviour, good manners, and hard work, embodied in our school’s core values ‘Respect, Learn, Grow, Together’. This shared set of values is quantified in improving exam results in many areas, which support the hard work and
determination of all at Longridge High School.
Our vision for Mathematics at Longridge High School is to ensure all pupils achieve their full potential. Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline. It is essential to everyday life and has provided the solutions to some of history’s most intriguing problems. Pupils are encouraged to “be brave” and articulate their thoughts and ideas which will help them to discover that the journey is just as rewarding as the final answer. Our five-year common curriculum has a foundation of equality, inclusivity, and diversity.
We are looking for a committed leader who is passionate about Mathematics and teaching. Our pupils are highly motivated and keen to learn, and we want a leader who will instil in them a lifelong love of Mathematics. If you are this person, and if you want to make a difference to a child’s appreciation of Mathematics then please apply.
