Job overview
We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher to join our Mathematics team on a full-time basis to start in September 2020. We would especially encourage applications from current trainees and NQTs, who would have access to a comprehensive range of support and guidance at Toynbee. We would also welcome applications from more experienced teachers.
You will join a highly successful and well-resourced Maths Department that has been enormously successful over the past few years. In the past three years, the Progress 8 Score for Maths has been +0.17 in 2017, +0.27 in 2018, and +0.30 in 2019. This is all built on consistent approaches to teaching and assessment, and having the belief that all children will achieve their potential; the department really does embody the school motto of “Personal Best”.

The last two Ofsted inspections have been very positive about the quality of teaching in the school and the positive outcomes for pupils and we want a candidate that will continue the good work being made.
Toynbee School is an expanding school with consistently high achievement and progress across all subjects, in particular the Maths exam results are outstanding. We currently have just under a 1000 pupils on role but this is likely to expand to nearer 1200 over the next few years as the school continues to be oversubscribed.
We welcome visits to our school to see us in action and invite you to come in for an informal chat, tour of the school and to meet our staff
About The Toynbee School

Welcome to Toynbee. We are a successful Hampshire County Council Community comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 16 situated in Chandlers Ford, a pleasant residential area on the outskirts of Eastleigh. Our position close to the M27 and M3 enables easy access to Romsey, Southampton and Winchester. We have at present approximately 800 pupils on roll. Toynbee enjoys an excellent reputation amongst parents and the local community.
A Theatre, two Sports Halls, state of the art Synthetic Pitch and Dance Studio are adjacent to the Music facilities. There are eight laboratories and buildings devoted to Technology and Art. Improvements in the Technology areas have been made and suites of Information and Communication Technology developed. There is a strong Learning Support department and the school has a designated Resource Centre for pupils from Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton who have a Visual Impairment. All departments have their own area in the school and almost all staff have their own teaching space. The school has an excellent Learning Resource Centre which has just been refurbished.
The school has a strong reputation for extra-curricular activities and the staff are encouraged to take part. We are keen to develop able and talented pupils through our special scheme. As well as a wide range of clubs, sporting, artistic and musical activities we run exchange visits to France and Spain.
The Toynbee ethos combines the achievement of ‘Personal Best’ with genuine concern for academic results. The school is organised on a year system with Progress Directors, Guidance Managers and Tutors taking their pupils through the five years spent at Toynbee. Year groups occupy an area of the school and Tutors tend therefore to be drawn from one or two subjects. Target setting is supported by a strong pastoral system.
The school operates a twenty five period week with five one hour lessons. Toynbee seeks to develop the potential of all pupils and maintains an ethos of academic achievement. Examination results have improved substantially and progress is significantly above national figures. Both the English and Maths departments achieved fantastic results with 68% of pupils achieving a 4+ or above in English, and 82% of pupils achieving a 4+ or above in Maths. However, the philosophy of the school would expect this achievement to be within the context of a curriculum which offers an extensive programme of activities and challenges. The quality of community life is important to us and we are proud of our reputation as a friendly, caring school.
