ABOUT THE WORTHGATE SCHOOL

We are an outstanding independent boarding school for students aged 13+, offering programmes of study that include GCSE, A Level, IB Diploma and the University Foundation Programme. We offer our students a ‘home-from-home' experience, with an emphasis on a visibly caring culture across classrooms, boarding residences and extracurricular activities. We set high expectations for ourselves and each other and integrate language learning everywhere to equip our students for their continued education.

The Worthgate School is part of CATS Global Schools, a forward-facing organisation with a strong educational vision and mission, committed to inspiring the next generation of world shapers. The group brings together 16 institutions that provide students around the globe with the education they need to develop real-life skills for the future. Our dedicated team of pioneering, persevering people, including teachers and welfare specialists, work together to create a positive environment, so that every student achieves their full potential.

Are you looking for a teaching role, where you can devote time to educating international students with the highest aspirations? Our student body is diverse, inspiring and ever-growing in number. Consequently, an exciting opportunity has arisen to teach within the Mathematics faculty. The faculty has a collaborative ethos and contributes to many whole-school initiatives. In addition to offering the more traditional programmes of study such as GCSE and A-level, students can also follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, University Foundation Programme and various preparatory programmes (PRE-KS4 and PRE-KS5 one-year programmes).

We are looking for a teacher who can harness the international contexts of our classrooms and offer an inclusive environment for students to engage in dialogue and develop their academic skills. The ability to teach Mathematics at GCSE and A-level is essential, with the ability to teach Further Mathematics, STEP Mathematics and IBDP courses, desirable.

Applicants should also evidence a commitment to their professional development. There are opportunities at Worthgate for successful applicants to undertake the NPQ qualifications (Leading Teacher Development, Senior Leadership, NPQ SENCO) with us in partnership with UCL and multiple teachers enrol on these NPQ programmes each year. Since we belong to a wider group of schools (CATS Global Schools), the academic team benefit from cross-school collaborations and events. Staff are encouraged to identify and contribute to such professional relationships.

For September 2025, we are looking for a person who has:

• Subject specialism in Mathematics, with a degree in a related discipline;

• A proven record of excellent and reflective classroom practice;

• Responsive teaching strategies that incorporate high quality feedback and a focus on literacy;

• Enthusiasm for continued professional learning;

• Ability to share a global perspective regarding the importance and usefulness of Mathematics in society;

• Commitment to ensuring our students have an enriched, holistic boarding school experience.

Applications from experienced teachers and ambitious new professionals will be welcomed and considered.

Closing date for applications and interview:

Closing date: Friday 9th June 2025, 12 noon

Interview: Expected to take place week commencing 9th June 2025. However, we reserve the right to process any applications as they are received, and therefore interviews may be scheduled earlier than the above date.
