I am the business manager for a group of amazing secondary and primary, mainstream and specialist schools in North London. I’m based in Northgate School, a tiny expert provider that works with children who have significant mental health challenges. Northgate is an unusual school and an amazing place to be – we were described by Ofsted last year as “a truly inspirational school where every student really does matter”. We are also a teaching school and train new maths and physics teachers.
As you can imagine, people who want to be teachers are keen to train with us but we are very selective about who we choose, which means we still have vacancies in both subjects. For September 2015 we are looking for maths and engineering students who are interested in a career in teaching because they love their subject AND they want to work with and make a significant difference to children and young people.
If that’s you and you’d like to find out more about us please email me, Linda, at linda@northgate.barnet.sch.uk Alternatively I’ll be doing a lecture shout at 12.00 to final year Maths students on 19th March.
