About the role
This is a subject leadership interview, not only a test of your own mathematics teaching. The panel wants evidence that you can build curriculum coherence, improve teachers' practice, interpret attainment patterns and create ambitious lessons for learners with different starting points.
How to prepare
- Map how one major mathematical idea develops across several year groups.
- Prepare an example of departmental data that led to a specific change in teaching.
- Think of a difficult performance conversation and how you maintained standards and trust.
- Plan how you would evaluate whether an intervention produced durable learning.
- Review ways to increase mathematical talk and participation without reducing challenge.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on headline results while overlooking patterns between topics or learner groups.
- Presenting a personal teaching preference as a department-wide strategy without evidence.
- Offering extra classes as the only response to weak attainment.
