- Use assessment data to identify gaps in knowledge, track student progress against targets, and implement timely interventions.
- Prepare students thoroughly for external examinations (GCSE and A-Level), including exam technique, essay structure, and quantitative skills.
Departmental & Wider School Contribution
- Contribute to the development of schemes of work, shared resources, and assessment materials within the department.
- Support enrichment opportunities such as economics societies, enterprise challenges, university preparation (including Oxbridge/Russell Group support), and guest speaker events.
- Fulfil the role of a Form Tutor, supporting the pastoral care, attendance, and personal development of students.
- Participate actively in parents’ evenings, departmental meetings, and whole-school professional development.

WHAT WE OFFER
- Outer London Weighting on the Main or Upper Pay Scale.
- A supportive, collaborative department with well-resourced schemes of work and dedicated Sixth Form teaching spaces.
