Summary

We are looking for a qualified, experienced teacher to join Harris Academy South Norwood as Lead Practitioner of Mathematics at our Beulah Hill campus.

About Us

Harris academy South Norwood, Beulah Hill campus is an extremely popular 11-19 academy that has been judged
Outstanding by OFSTED since 2010.

We deliver a broad and challenging curriculum to all our students in a calm and well-ordered environment. We have high expectations of all members of the school community.

This is reflected in our consistently high student performance at GCSE, progression to post 16 study at our sixth form and then on to some of the best universities in the country.

The Beulah Hill Campus is a wonderful place to learn and teach.

We have a very hardworking team of teachers and support staff; they provide a caring and welcoming atmosphere for our students.

The Campus site is a huge site with close to 8 acres of school buildings, sports halls, gymnasium, tennis courts and large playing fields / athletic track thus providing excellent facilities for our students.

We have recently invested over £1 million to further improve our outstanding facilities including the development of a state-of-the-art Design Technology room equipped with laser cuter and 3D Printers, Food room and a newly laid sports field to ensure all year-round sporting opportunities.

The Academy has a limit of 800 places across Year 7-11.
