Start: September 2024

Are you a well-qualified, enthusiastic and passionate Maths teacher/graduate looking to develop your career at one of the UK’s leading coeducational independent schools?

Candidates should be accustomed to, or capable of, teaching students of a wide ability range. Commitment and drive are critical qualities for this role, as is a demonstrable curiosity and interest in the importance of Maths teaching.

The Maths Faculty is currently made up of a team of seven subject specialists, including the Faculty Leader and the Second in Charge. The faculty teaches Mathematics, Further Maths and Core Maths. The Edexcel specifications are taught at iGCSE and A Level.

This is a full time position but applications from those interested in a part-time role are also welcome. Please note that interviews will take place in April.

As a teacher at Ashford School you will use your imagination and creativity to challenge and inspire our students to enjoy Maths. You will also possess the insight to convey the intricacies of these subjects in an engaging and adventurous way.

The successful candidate will be able to teach Maths at Key Stages Three and Four but the ability to teach Key Stage Five would be an advantage. Please note that a small amount of teaching Key Stage Three Physics could be available with this role.

Responding to the needs of the individual student is a vital aspect of a teacher’s role at Ashford School, whether this is during co-curricular activities, in one-to-one academic booster sessions or when guiding the most able through Oxbridge problems.

Teachers at Ashford enjoy a welcoming, comfortable and well-resourced environment and are provided with assistance from a range of support staff. All teachers act as Form Tutors and are expected to contribute to the co-curricular life of the School. Single person accommodation may be available in return for boarding duties. All teaching staff and pupils in Years 7-11 have their own Microsoft device.
