Teacher of Mathematics

As an experienced teacher you can inspire a love for Mathematics that lasts a lifetime as you deliver an exceptional learning experience for every pupil.

So bring your talents to Woldingham School – and enjoy all the support you need to achieve your professional goals as part of our friendly and welcoming team. Close to London yet in an outstandingly beautiful rural setting, Woldingham is a happy and successful Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18.

Woldingham is a truly unique school with an equally unique culture and philosophy. Building on a proud heritage that stretches back 175 years, we’re now driving an exciting future that’s underpinned by fresh ideas, an innovative spirit and state-of-the-art facilities – all alive with the creative energy of over 500 young minds. Our goal is to develop confident and compassionate young women who are curious, ambitious and ready to take on the challenges of today’s world.

Our girls’ achievements in this subject speak for themselves. Every year a number of them go on to degree courses in Mathematics or related subjects and we have a good record of Oxbridge success. This ambitious, forward-thinking well-funded department boasts outstanding resources too, with access to our extensive computer facilities and a dedicated suite of classrooms, all of which have interactive whiteboards.

While the ability to teach at both GCSE and Advanced Level is essential, experience of teaching Further Mathematics and preparing students for Oxbridge would also be welcomed. An infectious passion for mathematics is equally important, along with a commitment to making a real contribution to our enrichment provision
