Job overview
The Grange School is seeking to recruit a Teacher of Mathematics on a full time basis. The Mathematics Department is one of the largest departments at The Grange School. Our Senior School Mathematics course leads to the Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics examinations at the end of Year V, all pupils being entered at the Higher Level. Approximately 20 pupils each year also take the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics. Mathematics and Further Mathematics are very popular subjects in the Sixth Form. There are currently 67 Mathematicians and an additional 25 students studying Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Examination results reflect the high standards that are expected: in 2016 the Department achieved the following results:
· A level Mathematics 68% A*/A
· A level Further Mathematics 88% A*/A
· IGCSE Mathematics 89% A*/A
· Level 2 Further Mathematics 95% A* with distinction/A*/A
The ability to teach another subject (preferably
Physics or Computing) would be a strong advantage.
Mathematical activity extends well beyond the classroom, ranging from successful participation in competitions at national and local level to mathematical visits and a popular weekly Maths Games Club. There will be the expectation that the post holder will also offer co-curricular activities.

About The Grange School
The Grange School has been one of the great success stories of independent education over the past forty years. The school was founded in 1933 as a Kindergarten and Preparatory School. In 1977, the Governors took the major step of developing secondary education and since 1978 the school has grown steadily and developed an outstanding academic reputation. Today, The Grange has a total enrolment of 1223 students with 429 in the Junior School (4-11 years) and 794 in the Senior School. It is consistently one of the best performing schools in Cheshire and undoubtedly among the very best independent co-educational day schools in the country.
Our academic results speak for themselves; we are consistently one of the highest ranking co-educational independent schools in the country. In 2023, 22% of GCSE entries were awarded grade 9. At A Level (in 2023), 21% of entries were awarded an A* grade. Thanks to these excellent results, the majority of our leavers (approximately 75%) go on to join their first-choice university.
More importantly we are a very happy school. The relationship between staff and students is exceptional; although very busy and, at times, pressurised, it is a pleasure to work and study in such a friendly environment. Expectations of teachers and pupils are high, but this serves both to stimulate achievement and provide reward.
We understand our chief purpose to be to help produce young people who truly flourish and find fulfilment as adults. We try to do this by helping them to identify and develop their unique combination of strengths, talents and passions, and to challenge them to find a purpose for their lives which such attributes can serve.
