Teacher of Mathematics

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to join our committed and successful Mathematics department at QEHS.

The Mathematics faculty will have a staff of nine teachers. The Head of Maths is Mr N Bowler and Mrs J Hopkinson and Mr N Verran are jointly second in charge of the faculty. The majority of the teaching occurs in a specialised set of rooms, all of which are equipped with interactive whiteboards. The department is well resourced with text books, software and other equipment.

Students are taught in tutor groups in Year 7. In Year 8 each half Year is sorted by mathematical ability into three sets and in Year 9 there are 7 sets across the whole Year. In Years 10 and 11 each half Year is sorted into 4 sets.

At GCSE we enter almost all of our students at Higher level. In recent years all of our students have achieved 4 or better in Maths and 40-50% have achieved a grade 7 or better.

In the sixth form there are usually four A Level mathematics groups and one Further Mathematics group. The students follow the AQA specification.

The faculty enters students for UKMT Junior, Intermediate and Senior challenges, and has a programme of enriching activities for students.

We would expect the successful candidate to play a role in teaching the full age and ability range available at this selective school.

The successful candidate will be capable of enthusing and motivating able students and will use a wide variety of teaching and learning styles. They will be a team player who is willing and able to contribute to the success of the faculty.

The successful applicant will also be expected to fulfil the role of form tutor.
