About This Role
Our vision for Maths at the Archer Academy is that students learn to think and act as real mathematicians, developing exceptional creativity and resilience in tackling challenging mathematical problems, deep conceptual understanding of the curriculum underpinned by rich imagery, and most of all, a love of learning mathematics.
Mathematics is a specialism of our school and to date the department has secured outstanding results for students in relation to both attainment and progress.
The school teaches the EdExcel Maths specification at GCSE. In 2025 30% of students secured Grade 7+ in Maths, with 63% at Grade 5+ and 87% at 4+. These results reflect excellent progress over time, with results consistently above national averages year on year.
Maths is highly regarded by students and parents. A large number of students have decided to take the optional Further Maths GCSE during the school Enrichment slots, and our results in these subjects are outstanding. This reflects Archer students’ commitment to and enjoyment of Mathematics, across the full prior attainment spectrum, and the strong parental support we enjoy as a department. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are two of the popular subjects chosen by students for A Level and we work closely with Woodhouse College, our partner college, and the Imperial College Maths School, in joint pursuits surrounding the profile and teaching of Mathematics.
Our department benefits from outstanding leadership, provided by the Senior Director of Maths and Numeracy, supported by a Deputy Director. The wider team comprises highly qualified professionals who work collaboratively on planning and curriculum development. Additionally, we are affiliated with the NCETM London Central and North-West Maths Hub, further enriching our teaching practices.
Equipped with state-of-the-art resources, our Maths department is committed to delivering ambitious teaching and learning experiences. We strive to support our students in a variety of ways, and we are proud to have recently received the HSBC Smart Money Award, recognising our efforts in enhancing students' understanding of Personal Finance.
