Job overview

We are looking for Maths Teachers to join our outstanding school as we grow into our sixth year.

The Mathematics Department is incredibly proud of our impressive Maths results with over 30% of students securing Grades 9-7, 79% of students securing Grades 9-5 and 85% of students securing Grades 9-4. We also offered a GCSE in Additional Maths, with all students sitting this examination securing a Distinction. 

Our Sixth Form opened in September 2018 and Mathematics is an extremely popular A-Level subject with four Maths classes and one Further Maths class. As an EBACC subject, all students in key stages 3 and 4 have a 50-minute Maths lesson every day. We additionally offer core elective numeracy classes in the afternoons to help our students who need extra support in Maths, and a variety of extended electives including Chess Club and UKMT training. Some students in Year 10 and 11 are studying for a FSMQ in Additional Maths in order to prepare themselves for A Level mathematics.This is a popular course that runs after school, and students have made tremendous progress so far.
