A well-qualified and skilled Teacher of Mathematics and IT is required for September 2024 for a permanent position. We would welcome applications from both newly qualified and established teachers. To be successful, you must demonstrate expertise in your subject and be a reflective and impactful classroom practitioner.

You will join a thriving and supportive Mathematics Faculty made up of 19 staff. The faculty regularly achieves excellent results at GCSE (P8 well above the national average), and the school’s A Level Mathematics results have consistently been in the top 10% of schools for L3VA nationally. You will have the opportunity to teach across all three Key Stages. In the Sixth Form, 45% of our 450 Sixth Form students currently take Maths as an option, and we offer both Maths and Further Maths A Levels. Within such a strong department at a large school, there are many opportunities for the successful applicant to take on extra responsibilities and develop professionally. The thriving Computer Science and ICT Department is made up of three team members. The Department runs very successful examination courses in GCSE Computer Science, A Level Computer Science and BTEC ICT. The Department also offers extra-curricular programme activities such as Lego Mind Storm.

As well as having the opportunity to teach across all Key Stages, there are also opportunities for school-wide additional responsibilities, such as a Teaching and Learning Coach, ECT mentor or extra-curricular responsibilities, each carrying a TLR. Such responsibilities will be discussed with applicants dependent on individual interest and experience.
