Job overview
Teacher of Mathematics
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference in one of the school’s most successful departments. The role is to start in September 2022, and a part time position could be considered.
We have almost 800 students on roll; boys only 11-16, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. The school has long been synonymous with excellence and the school’s reputation for providing a first-rate all-round education for local students has been strengthened even further over recent years. Our academic results speak for themselves while our achievements in Sport, Music and other activities are outstanding. We have been recognised as a Good school with Outstanding features by Ofsted and were delighted with this outcome, which recognised the strengths of the school and supported our own perceived areas for improvement. The Maths department is perceived as a real strength and asset in the school, with a large uptake in the Sixth Form.
We have been recognised as one of the top schools in the country based on our performance in the last few academic years, and students have regularly accepted offers for Oxbridge and the top Universities. The friendly, cheerful atmosphere of the school helps our students enjoy learning and, as they grow into young men and women, we enable them to take increasing responsibility for themselves and for others around them.
To the right candidate, this post will be an extremely rewarding experience, an opportunity to really make a difference. I hope that having read the information and looked at the information on the website, you will decide that Carre’s is the right school for you and that you will make an application. To do so, please submit the application form and a letter of no more than 2 sides of A4 in which you should cover:
• Your experience of teaching to date;
• Your educational philosophy;
• Why this particular post would suit you;
• How you would help take this department forward; and
• Relevant interests that would enrich students at Carre’s.
Completed applications should be emailed to julie.body@carres.uk and should be in school no later than midday on Friday 28 January. Interviews will take place before half term, but we reserve to right to call candidates to interview before the closing date.
If you would like further information about the post or an informal discussion, please contact Mr Paul Harvey (Head of Mathematics).
You are warmly invited to visit our school and should contact Mrs Julie Body (Head’s PA) to book a visit, but we recognise that this may be difficult and it does not preclude you from applying or being called to an interview if you are unable to visit us beforehand.

About Carre's Grammar School
Carre’s Grammar School is a vibrant, exciting and caring community with a 400+ year history. We are committed to the highest expectations and standards for our students and genuinely focus on developing the individual, not only in the academic sense but valuing learning outside the classroom with the same rigour and involvement as the learning within it.
Our students are keen to learn, have curious minds, and make the most of all the opportunities available to them, whether that is in the classroom, in clubs, on school trips or on the sports field.
Our success can be measured not only by the consistently outstanding academic achievements of our students, but also by their confidence and maturity. We aim to make sure that by the time students leave us they are mature, respectful, courteous, tolerant and well-rounded young people with excellent attitudes, ready to face the challenges that life will present to them.
We have been recognised as a Good school with Outstanding features by Ofsted and were delighted with this outcome, which recognised the strengths of the school and supported our own perceived areas for improvement. The behaviour of our students was found to be Outstanding.
We pride ourselves on working in partnership with parents and the wider community to develop each student’s knowledge, experience, imagination and understanding, thus preparing them to be active participants in society with an awareness of moral values and a capacity for enjoyment.
For staff wishing to join us, we offer a welcoming and friendly school community, a professional, enthusiastic and supportive team of staff, the opportunity to be part of the successful Joint Sixth Form working with the two other secondary schools in the town, and excellent opportunities for personal and professional development. We also offer free gym membership and free parking on site.
