Job overview
Our school is growing to over 300 students next year. To cater for that we need to expand our teaching team in Mathematics. You'll be teaching KS4 and KS5 students to GCSE and A-level and making a contribution to Mathematics support for students studying Engineering at KS5. The team is small and you'll have direct responsibility for KS4 provision in the subject.
Greater Peterborough UTC is one of 50 schools nationwide that focus on 14-19 education and have specialist subjects at the heart of their curriculum. Our specialisms are in Engineering and Built Environment - both subjects that require a high degree of numeracy. We aim to help a considerable number of students into careers in these industries where apprenticeship requirements often include grades in Maths and Science.
Consequently the role of the Mathematics team is a crucial one as their work determines the academic and vocational destinations of all our students. The consistent challenge is always on making connections between the core academic subjects and the specialist ones - which is an area where Maths can play a significant part.
We are based in a new building on the campus of Peterborough Regional College. The UTC is sponsored by significant local and regional employers in our specialist sectors, with Anglian Water contributing as our Lead Sponsor.
We will always be a small school (400 maximum), your team will never be large but you have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the experience of the young people focused on developing their careers and interest in our specialist subjects.

About Greater Peterborough UTC
‘Creating the Workforce of Tomorrow’
’Greater Peterborough University Technical College (GPUTC) is a STEM specialist school currently for students aged 11 to 19. Located in Peterborough city centre, the £12 million school opened in September 2016 to help create the city’s future scientists, engineers, designers, architects and construction specialists of the future. UTC’s are secondary schools for young people that are sponsored by a university and local employers. They were set up by the government to encourage young people to study technical subjects and to give them the opportunity to learn the skills that employers are looking for.
GPUTC is a valued member of the Meridian Trust and as such benefits from a supportive network of leadership at senior and subject level and is fully integrated and accessing all support services such as HR and financial support. In 2022, the first year of year 7 students, GPUTC was oversubscribed with many parents wanting not only a smaller school for their child but also one which specialises in a STEM curriculum. In Key Stage 4, which from 2023 will start in year 9, students can study separate sciences, engineering and the built environment (made up of architecture, design, surveying and construction) along with their core GCSE subjects. Students are also given the opportunity to pick from computer science, art and design and some humanities subjects all of which augment a STEM rich curriculum. In year 12 students may commit themselves to, from 2023, T ’Levels in ‘Engineering and Manufacturing’ and ‘Health Care Science’ there will also be a traditional route of A Levels in such subjects as Maths, Science and Product Design.
